River Litani : ウィキペディア英語版 | Litani River
The Litani River ((アラビア語:نهر الليطاني), ''Nahr al-Līṭānī''), the classical Leontes (, ''Léontes'', "Lions"), is an important water resource in southern Lebanon. The river rises in the fertile Beqaa Valley, west of Baalbek, and empties into the Mediterranean Sea north of Tyre. Exceeding 140 km in length, the Litani River is the longest river in Lebanon and provides an average annual flow estimated at 920 million cubic meters.〔(The Litani River of Lebanon )〕 The waters of the Litani both originate and flow entirely within the borders of Lebanon. It provides a major source for water supply, irrigation and hydroelectricity both within Southern Lebanon, and the country as a whole. Sections of its lower reaches were under Israeli control during 1978 and from 1982 to 2000. ==Southern flow==
After heading south parallel to the Syrian border, as the Litani nears northern Israel, the course of the river bends dramatically westward. Near this bend, the Litani comes within five km of the Hasbani River and four km from the Israeli border.
