This is more of a little topography with reasoning of how it helps Lebanon and how it's used:

Lebanon has many plains, where farmers plant. Heavy downpour in Mount Lebanon of winter rains has formed many deep clefts and valleys in the soft rock. The terrain has profoundly affected the country's history. East of the Mount Lebanon Range is the Bekaa Valley, an extremely fertile flatland where farmers have learned that the soil is fertile and that the plants could grow large with flat land and lots of space to grow in. Lebanon contains few rivers, and its harbors are mostly shallow and small. Abundant springs, found to a height of 1,500 m (4,900 ft) on the western slopes of the Lebanon Mountains, provide water for cultivation up to this height. Such rivers as Nahr Abou Ali, Nahr Ibrahim, Nahr el Kelb, Nahr Beirut, Nahr ed Dam our, etc. flow into Mediterranean, forming deep ravines. The coastal plain along the Mediterranean is narrow, and is found only around such cities as Tripoli, Beirut, Saida, Tyre, etc.
