Abstract
AbstractLong-Term (1946–2008) record of 35,580 measurements of daily mean air temperatures in three meteorological stations (Dan, Dafna, Kfar Blum) in the Hula Valley, was statistically evaluated. Temperature decline followed the Hula drainage (1957) was increased later (mid 1980s) after the implementation of the Hula Project. The change of Albedo levels probably affected those regional climate changes: Lower ALBEDO value induced temperature elevation when land was water covered before drainage. ALBEDO value increased after drainage followed by temperature decline. Following the implementation of the Hula Reclamation Project when vegetation cover became intensive and continuous temperature increased.KeywordsHula drainageReclamationTemperatureLand cover
