A new study conducted at Reichman University's School of Sustainability presents an innovative tool to help decision-makers better understand the condition of streams and thereby advance their restoration and rehabilitation. The tool, called SESBI—the Stream Ecosystem Services and Biodiversity Index—is designed to measure what is called "stream health," meaning the degree to which a stream functions ecologically and contributes to public welfare.
