In Zgharta, in the Zgharta District the Kadisha river originating from the Kadisha grotto merges with the Rachiine and Jouit river that source from the town of Rachiine and Ehden respectively where it becomes the Abu Ali river that passes through Tripoli, Lebanon.
Walled and partially covered on its passage through Tripoli, the river is very polluted.[1]
