Litani River
The 883rd longest river in the world
The Litani River (Nahr al-Līṭānī), the classical Leontes (Ancient, Leóntes, lit. 'lion river'), known in medieval times as Līṭa (Nahr Līṭā), 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 (87 mi) in length, the Litani is the longest river that flows entirely in Lebanon and provides an average annual flow estimated at 0.92 km3. The Litani provides a major source for water supply, irrigation, and hydroelectricity throughout the country.
