The American Society of Civil Engineers RHU Student Chapter and their advisor associate professor of civil engineering, Dr. Mirvat Abdallah, visited Mseilha Dam on Saturday, September 28, 2019. This educational and fun trip unraveled the objective behind building the dam, which is the creation of a reservoir capable of ensuring drinking water, water supply to industries, and irrigation water in Cazas of Batroun and Koura.
