  • Why Visiting Israel?)
    1 Ricardo Motta Pinto Coelho & Consultores em Recursos Hídricos www.rmpcecologia.com [email protected] +5531 3517 9793 2 1.- Introdução (Introduction) A maioria dos brasileiros aprende ainda na escola elementar que esse é um país das infinitas águas. Afinal, temos a maior bacia hidrográfica do mundo, ou seja, o complexo sistema fluvial do rio Amazonas. E não é só isso. Outro grande rio, em escala mundial, o rio Paraná nasce e corre uma boa extensão em território brasileiro. A esses dois sistemas fluviais, de importância global, o país ainda dispõe de vários outros grandes rios (com mais de 1.000 km de extensão), várias províncias ou distritos lacustres, o pantanal, uma das maiores wetlands de toda a biosfera. Esses superlativos lotam os livros das escolas elementares brasileiras. No entanto, essa realidade esconde uma outra, menos ufanista. O Brasil sofre com a crescente falta de água. E não é na Amazônia, nem na bacia do rio Paraná. A água está escassa nas maiores cidades do país, espalhadas pelo planalto central e pelo litoral Atlântico. Nessas regiões, onde se concentra a maior parte dos 250 milhões de brasileiros, graças às mudanças climáticas globais, ao mau uso das águas, e à falta de uma boa governança das águas está faltando água! English Most Brazilians still learn in elementary school that this is a country of infinite waters. After all, we have the largest river basin in the world, that is, the complex river system of the Amazon River. This is not all. Another great river, on a world scale, the Paraná River is born and runs a good extension in Brazilian territory.

This publication was made possible through funding by the Charles H. Revson Foundation. The statements made and the views expressed are solely the responsibility of the authors. © 2009, The Jerusalem Institute for Israel Studies The Hay Elyachar House 20 Radak St. 92186 Jerusalem http://www.jiis.org.il E-mail: [email protected] Summary Israel’s countryside and agricultural land has undergone many changes in the past twenty years. The countryside in central Israel has been exposed to extremely heavy land development pressures. These pressures have had far-reaching consequences which are expressed in changes in employment patterns and the reallocation of agricultural land for nonagricultural enterprises. In response to these trends, changes have occurred in the national and district planning authorities aimed at the reinforcement and preservation of agricultural land and open spaces with an emphasis on environmental issues, the countryside’s landscape and tourism (ILA National Outline Plan no. 31, 35; District Outline Plan no. 3/21). For the purpose of efficiently managing land resources in Israel’s countryside and for the purpose of implementing a policy preserving the countryside’s landscape and agricultural uses — it is important to clarify the opinions of the countryside’s residents regarding the region’s future and the conditions required for the preservation of agricultural pursuits.

  • Unfinished Tunnels in Hiding Complexes: Horvat ʻammudim in the Lower Galilee As a Case Study Yinon Shivtiel and Mechael Osband
    In the Highland’s Depth Volume 9, 2019, pp. 41*–51* DOI: https://doi.org/10.26351/IHD/9/9 ISSN: 2521-9456 (print) Unfinished Tunnels in Hiding Complexes: Horvat ʻAmmudim in the Lower Galilee as a Case Study Yinon Shivtiel and Mechael Osband Abstract Excavation of a subterranean tunnel discovered in a water cistern at Horvat ‘Ammudim revealed evidence of an unfinished hiding complex dated to the Roman period. The main findings of this excavation, directed by the authors of this paper, are presented here. Important evidence supporting the identification of the tunnel as part of an unfinished complex included oil lamp niches, the location of the tunnel in a cistern, and the overall similarity of the tunnel to similar subterranean complexes in the Galilee and in Judah. The subject of unfinished tunnels has rarely been addressed in the research on hiding complexes. Over seventy hiding complexes, most of them dated to the Roman period, have been identified in the Galilee (Shivtiel 2019, 97–210). These complexes were hewn out of the local rock, and while they vary in size, quality, and number of chambers, they all contain one or more low tunnels that can only be accessed by crawling and that are connected to chambers (for a brief preliminary description, see ibid., 197–198). In addition, they are all located near or within Jewish settlements. In this paper, we present a recently discovered and excavated hiding complex at the Jewish settlement of Horvat ʻAmmudim. This is a rare example of an unfinished hiding complex, a phenomenon that has not been investigated sufficiently.

  • The PUA English Report 2011-2012
    Editor: Nurit Felter-Eitan, Authority Secretary & Spokeswoman All information provided in this report is provided for information purposes only and does not constitute a legal act. The hebrew translation is the current and accurate information. Information in this report is subject to change without prior notice. Greetings, I am delighted to hereby present the Israel Public Utility Authority’s (Electricity) biennial activity report for the years 2012-2011. This report summarizes the Authority’s Assembly’s extensive and meticulous work, assisted by the Authority’s team of professional employees, over the past two years, signifying a turning point in the Israeli electricity and energy markets. Alongside a severe energy crisis that befell the electricity market in the past two years due to the discontinuation of natural gas supply from Egypt and the creation of a gas supply monopoly, these years have seen a historic change in the electricity market, commencing with the admission of private electricity entrepreneurship and clean electricity production in significant capacities (the Authority’s projection for private electricity production is 25% by 2016, and approximately 10% for electricity production using renewable energy by 2020). As a result of the natural gas crisis, which began in 2011 due to recurring explosions in the gas lines leading from Egypt to Israel, the Electricity Authority was faced with a reality that would have forced it to instantly and radically increase in the electricity tariffs for the Israeli consumers in 2012. These circumstances led the Authority to combine forces with government bodies, including the Ministry of Finance, the Ministry of Energy and Water Resources and the Ministry of Environmental Protection, and lead a comprehensive move which significantly restrained the tariff increase, and furthermore, relieved the electricity consumers’ burden in a manner that enabled spreading the tariff increase over three years.
