Abstract:
This paper presents hydrodynamic and water quality simulation results along the Lebanese coast at both the global and local levels. The global level is a generalized modeling scenario with large geographical scale to obtain the hydrodynamic boundary conditions for the local level, which focuses on the simulation of single-point sources of pollution. The model will support decision-makers in assessing various coastal management strategies and What if scenarios, and in defining critically polluted spots where long term monitoring is required.
