  • 1.- Heptageniidae, Ephemerellidae, Leptophlebiidae & Palingeniidae
    PRIVATE UBRARV OF WILLIAM L. PETERS Revue suisse Zool. I Tome 99 Fasc. 4 p. 835-858 I Geneve, decembre 1992 Mayflies from Israel (lnsecta; Ephemeroptera) 1.- Heptageniidae, Ephemerellidae, Leptophlebiidae & Palingeniidae * by Michel SARTORI 1 With 45 figures ABSTRACT This paper is the first part of a work dealing with the mayfly fauna of Israel. Eleven species are reported here. The most diversified family is the Heptageniidae with six species belonging to six different genera: Rhithrogena znojkoi (Tshemova), Epeorus zaitzevi Tshemova, Ecdyonurus asiaeminoris Demoulin, Electrogena galileae (Demoulin) (comb. nov.), Afronurus kugleri Demoulin and Heptagenia samochai (Demoulin) (comb. nov.). E. zaitzevi is new for the fauna of Israel. The male of H. samochai is described for the first time and the synonymy with H. lutea Kluge (syn. nov.) is proposed. Eggs of the six species are described and illustrated. Keys are provided for nymphs and adults. Ephemerellidae are represented by a single species, Ephemerella mesoleuca (Brauer). Leptophlebiid species are: Paraleptophlebia submarginata (Stephens), Choroterpes (Ch.) picteti Eaton and Choroterpes (Euthraulus) ortali nov. sp. described at all stages. New features to distinguish the nymphs of the Mediterranean Euthraulus species are provided. One species of Palingeniidae has been found in the collections of Bet Gordon Museum in Deganya: Palingenia orientalis Chopra. The female of this species is described for the first time. P. orientalis disappeared from the investigated area in the early fifties. Some geographical data are given on the distribution of the species inside and outside the investigated area, as well as some ecological observations. For instance, underwater emergence is reported for the first time in the genus Afronurus.

  • Towards a Middle East at Peace: Hidden Issues in Arab–Israeli Hydropolitics
    Water Resources Development, Vol. 20, No. 2, 193–204, June 2004 Towards a Middle East at Peace: Hidden Issues in Arab–Israeli Hydropolitics ARNON MEDZINI* & AARON T. WOLF** *Department of Geography, Oranim School of Education, Tivon, Israel **Department of Geosciences, Oregon State University, Corvallis, OR, USA ABSTRACT When peace negotiations do one day resume between Israelis and Arabs, shared water resources will again take centre stage, acting both as an irritant between the parties, and as a tremendous inducement to reach agreement. The ‘hidden’ hydropo- litical issues that will need to be resolved between Israel, Lebanon and Syria in the course of eventual boundary talks are considered. Two of these issues, the village of Ghajar and its relation to the Wazani Springs, and the possibility of groundwater flow from the Litani to the Jordan headwaters, change the fundamental understanding of the relation- ship between hydrologic and political claims, and could threaten the entire approach to water negotiations both between Israel and Syria and between Israel and Lebanon. Fortunately, other agreements within the basin can inform the path solutions here might take. The most critical step towards conflict resolution is separating the concepts of territorial sovereignty from water security. This can be done most effectively by offering joint management, monitoring and enforcement strategies, as well as encouraging greater transparency in water data across boundaries. Introduction Despite the current deadly, and apparently intractable, conflict between Israelis and Arabs, history suggests that peace negotiations will one day resume. When they do, shared water resources will again take centre stage, acting both as an irritant between the parties, and as a tremendous inducement to reach agree- ment.

  • Wazzani Spring
    Wazzani Spring Assessment of the present international water conflict between Lebanon and Israel - concerning the Wazzani Spring and Hasbani River - seen within an Arab-Israeli context. BY ANDERS OMBERG HANSEN CAND.SCIENT THESIS IN RESOURCE GEOGRAPHY DEPARTMENT OF GEOSCIENCES UNIVERSITY OF OSLO SPRING 2005 ii Disclaims The denominations used and the line boundaries shown on any maps do not imply any judgment on the legal status of any territories or any endorsements or acceptance of such boundaries. Unless otherwise stated all the interpretations and findings set forth in this publication are those of the author and should not be assumed to reflect the views of any particular persons or organisations. iii iv Foreword The situation in the Middle East has over the last centuries received much attention from the international community. There is a long history of disputes over natural resources like oil and land in the Middle East, and on some occasions these disputes have resulted in warfare among neighboring states. Even though water has always been a source of conflict in the region, it’s only in the recent years that more focus has been placed on the scarce fresh water resources in the region, and the management of them. In the arid Middle East region water is scarce both in terms of the quantity and quality. This constitutes a great challenge for the countries in the region, because water is probably the most fundamental natural resource for humans and the societies in which they live. The fundamental role that water resources play in a society is also the cause of tension between different users of the same water resources.

  • Assessing Water Withdrawals in Scarce-Data Transboundary Areas by Use of Dynamic Precipitation–Flow Relationships: the Case of the Hasbani River Basin
    water Article Assessing Water Withdrawals in Scarce-Data Transboundary Areas by Use of Dynamic Precipitation–Flow Relationships: The Case of the Hasbani River Basin Isabella Shentsis 1, Eliahu Rosenthal 1, Akiva Flexer 1 and Nimrod Inbar 2,3,* 1 Porter School of the Environment and Earth Sciences, Tel Aviv University, Tel Aviv 69978, Israel; [email protected] (I.S.); [email protected] (E.R.); [email protected] (A.F.) 2 Department of Civil Engineering, Ariel University, Ariel 40700, Israel 3 Geophysics and Space Science, Eastern Regional R&D Centre, Ariel 40700, Israel * Correspondence: [email protected] Abstract: The present study proposes a nonstandard solution to the problem of assessing water withdrawals (AWW) in the scarce-data transboundary basin. The applied AWW method operates with the open-source available data on precipitation and river flow and thereby overcomes the usual restriction due to lack of data on shared water use in the Middle East. Analysis of dynamic precipitation-flow relationships enable to separate the effect of water withdrawals from the total decline of river flow under the decreasing precipitation. This study is the first which provides complete information (1972–2020) on water withdrawals from total, surface, and base flow of the Hasbani River (Lebanon). The resulting values that exceed by far earlier published estimates were confirmed by (i) indirect indices (area of irrigated land and population), and (ii) validation of the AWW method based on independent data on water use (Israel Water Authority). The study results Citation: Shentsis, I.; Rosenthal, E.; Flexer, A.; Inbar, N. Assessing Water are useful for water balance estimations, as well as for management of water resources in the Jordan Withdrawals in Scarce-Data River headwaters basin and in the entire Lake Kinneret Basin.
