In addition, the 1959 Water Law establishes the framework for the control and protection of Israel’s water resources. A 2004 amendment to this law allows the allocation of water explicitly for nature and landscape assets. A government decision in 2000 allocated 50 million m3 per year of water to nature, raised in 2010 to 60 million m3 per year (including 10 million m3 of potable water) (Chapter 4). First, the National Parks and Nature Reserves Law and the Wildlife Protection Law aim at “nature protection”, which is similar but not identical to “biodiversity conservation and management”. Hence, these laws provide solutions for individual species rather than for biodiversity and ecosystems under threat.
