ABSTRACT. Exceptional hydro-meteorological phenomena from 2013 - Israel. Case study: Yarkon Basin. Distinct hydro-meteorological phenomena are well studied all over the world, especially in the last years, as a result of their strong effect over natural and also social environment. Their spread and way of expression present a great diversity determined especially by land’s natural environment particularities, and also by their position inside climatical zones. After the study makes a brief presentation of Israel’s geographical position, it presents the particularities of Yarkon hydrographical basin compared with other adjacent basins that flow into the Mediterranean Sea. In this context the Yarkon Basin was selected, with many land researches and laboratorial evaluations of extreme rainfalls from January – February 2013. Using these data there were developed some ideas for area rehabilitation and options for future basin sustainability.
