Study of Physicochemical Properties of Colloidal Sediments of Litani River in Lebanon

In this paper, we were interested in studying some of interesting physicochemical properties of colloidal sediments of Litani River in Lebanon. More than 15 geographical sites were selected in different zones composing the Litani River from Baalbek region located in the north-east of Lebanon to Kasmeyeh in the south of Lebanon where the River meets the Mediterranean sea. The effect of the seasonal variations in the sediment quality and the relationship of this variability with human activities were also studied including the physical and chemical properties of sediments of Litani river in Lebanon, and especially the zeta potential of the sediments selected from the different sites on the Litani River.
