Researchers from the Hebrew University of Jerusalem have introduced an innovative model that incorporates recreational freshwater ecosystem services into water allocation decisions. The study, conducted by Aliza Fleischer, student Yadin Gindin and Yacov Tsur from the Department of Environmental Economics and Management at the Faculty of Agriculture, focuses on how recreational activities like fishing, boating, and swimming—often overlooked in water management—should play a more central role in water allocation policy.
