The Chabrouh Dam, located at approx. 1,900 m above sea level, is an integral part of the Ministry of Energy and Water Recourses program to exploit the surface waters as well as recharge of the groundwater table. In the last 25 years the population of the Kesserwan area have dramatically increased, which resulted in a high demand on water especially in low flow season.

 

Chabrouh Dam with its 8 million cubic meters capacity, will satisfy the lack in potable water in Kesserwane as well as in a part of the Metn area and this until 2025. The Chabrouh Dam is located in the Caza of Kesserwane, 40 km North-Est of Beirut, in a zone exempted from active faults with a soil strata providing stable foundations and adequate waterproofing.
