PART 5<br />
LEBANON WILL NEVER BE<br />
THE SAME AGAIN<br />
Why should Lebanese citizens and the Lebanese State<br />
support Project BLUE GOLD?<br />
Investors, heads of families, farmers, hotel owners, entrepreneurs, job seekers,<br />
Members of the Parliament, Members of the Government and fellow citizens,<br />
by now you have gone through the thorough description of<br />
BLUE GOLD and undoubtedly discovered how much water<br />
surplus we can achieve if we come together and actualize the<br />
water 5-Year Plan. The available figures on water availability<br />
from the Government and the World Bank are conservative.<br />
The bountiful promise of BLUE GOLD could be even bigger if we<br />
harness the 8 billion m³ that are generated by rain and snow every year,<br />
save the greater amount that we loose to the sea, and demonstrate how<br />
innovative initiatives such as basins’ interconnectivity, submarine springs,<br />
harvesting and forestation can generate more water than expected.
