Abstract
The country of Israel is prone to significant variations in the annual amount of precipitation because of its geographical position at the northern edge of the largest desert belt on earth. The Sahara and Arabian-Iranian deserts make up a continuous arid zone, which stretches from the Atlantic coast of West Africa into central Asia over a distance of some 8,000 km. The southern half of Israel, the Negev, forms part of this planetary desert belt. The transition from hyperarid to subhumid occurs in Israel over a distance of merely 100-150 km. It is not surprising, therefore, to find drought as a recurring phenomenon in the region.
