Introduction
Islamic Relief believes that everyone has the right to have a good quality of drinkable water. For that Islamic relief seeks to develop projects in stricken places in order to enhance the mode of life and creating a safe environment for the host community and refugees in these places.
Islamic relief Lebanon (IRL) accommodate to improve the quality and quantity of water in Mount Lebanon by establishing water well and a treatment station. Then IRL will implement water tanks in 10 villages in Mount Lebanon to secure free and clean drinkable water for the greatest possible number of individuals of all nationalities.
IRL seeks to contract an Electro Mechanical engineer consultant (firm or individual) who will provide advice on the tender and also oversees the site during the installation of the treatment plant to ensure the quality and validity of equipment and its compatibility with the tender terms.
Background and Problem Statement The Lebanese government estimates that since fighting in Syria in March 2011, 1.2 million Syrian refugees have arrived in Lebanon, which itself only has an official population of just four million. With those, there are about 3.3 million people in need of clean water from refugees and vulnerable Lebanese, yet only 2.9 million people are targeted. Lebanon is in a relatively fortunate hydrological position. It is estimated from the official maps that the yearly precipitation results in an average yearly flow of 8,600 million cubic meters, giving rise to 40 major streams and rivers (including 17 perennial rivers) and more than 2,000 springs. Despite this seemingly abundant resource, Lebanon is poised to experience a water deficit within 10-15 years, unless sound and radical water management policies are developed and implemented. Water is one of Lebanon’s most precious resources. Unfortunately, while significant investments are made to tap water resources, very little is done to preserve it. Human activities exert strong pressures on both the quantity (water abstraction) and quality (water pollution) of water resources. The current unrest in Syria has so far forced more than 22,460 families to flee to the villages in Mount Lebanon, where these villages are suffering from the shortage of drinking water throughout the year in general, and especially in the summer. WASH Sector Working Group considers that water scarcity is a hot topic mainly due to the fact that the winter season was dry and Lebanon is facing increased water demand due to presence of refugees. The priorities of WASH strategy for 2014 were: • Meeting critical and life-saving needs with short-term emergency interventions; • Improving sustainability and cost-effectiveness through the adoption of longer-term solutions which add value to and extend existing service provision; and • Ensuring the ability to respond rapidly and adequately to significant changes in needs such as those arising from a mass influx of refugees or disease outbreak through continued preparedness activities.
