Rehovot winter puddle, Vernal pool in Rehovot, Israel.
The seasonal wetland fills with water during winter months, forming a shallow depression that supports numerous plant species including Eleocharis palustris.
The natural formation has persisted through urban development in Rehovot, maintaining its ecological function as a temporary water body in the Mediterranean climate.
Local students and researchers frequently visit the pool to study wetland ecosystems, seasonal changes, and conservation methods throughout the year.
The winter puddle remains accessible through nearby roads, enabling naturalists to observe the pool's transformation during different seasons.
The pool exhibits a complete water cycle annually, transforming from a water-filled depression in winter to completely dry ground in summer.
