Abstract:
The research explores opportunities for water policies that promote inclusion of economically vulnerable populations in Lebanon. The potential outcome of the research can form the basis for a more user-inclusive water sector. A survey of 600 households distributed over Akkar, North, Beirut, Mount Lebanon, Baalbek/Hermel, Beqaa, and South and seven focus groups were conducted in each of the governorates to gauge their opinions on the matter.
Key findings highlight the predominant use of the services provided by Water Establishments (WEs) supplemented by purchases from water trucks and private wells. Despite the majority indicating WEs as their primary source, concerns over irregular water supply, high subscription costs relative to income levels and perceived water quality issues emerged as significant barriers to subscription.
