Litani River Temporarily Turns White
The Litani River temporarily turned white on Saturday, reported the daily An Nahar on Sunday.
It said that the incident occurred near the Tall Amara Bridge in the Zahleh district and did not affect the entire river.
The daily likened the color to that of milk, saying that the change may have been caused by the flow of calcified water in the river or the dumping of waste from a nearby rock factory.
In February, the Beirut River mysteriously turned red.
Environment Ministry experts tried to determine the cause for the change, but to no avail.
They speculated that it may have been caused by pollution from a nearby farm
