Abstract: This policy proposal addresses challenges in water reuse in Lebanon, including regulatory gaps, inadequate sampling and maintenance issues impacting water, soil and food. Solutions involve improving water quality analysis, fostering farmer collaboration and raising public awareness. Also, addressing operational challenges such as cost quantification, tradeoff analysis and assessing social and technical readiness are discussed. Finally, considerations include farmer willingness to pay and revenue projection for treated water. Implementing a remote data collection plan is proposed to enhance operational efficiency, reduce costs, ensure accuracy, enable realtime updates and strengthen trust in overseeing institutions, ultimately enhancing accessibility to water reuse solutions.
