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.
