Project Partners

The present study represents an outcome of the close cooperation between the Department of Geography, The Hebrew University of Jerusalem, Israel and the Institute of Hydrology, Freiburg, Germany. Both the local field experience of the Israeli research team headed by Prof. A. P. Schick and the 30-year database of the hyperarid Nahal Yael research catchment were indispensable prerequisites. The ‘Förderverein Hydrologie an der Albert-Ludwigs-Universität Freiburg i. Brsg.’ provided financial help for a five-months period of field mapping and data collection, January - June 1996. Digital radar data were provided by Mekorot, Electro-Mechanical Service Ltd., hydrometric runoff data by the Israel Hydrological Service.
