Abstract

The “Hula Project”constructed wetland ecosystem in northern Israel up stream of Lake Kinneret. The water budget of this lake Kinneret is controlled by precipitation and human management, especially the regulation at South Dam and the National Water Carrier. Effective management depends on successful collaboration between stakeholders. Currently, this partnership operates successfully, which has positive benefits for the future prospects and general sustainability of the system.
