Agma
Agma is the national knowledge and action center for Israel’s watersheds. At the heart of the initiative lies a digital platform — a structured, searchable index of real-world case studies, tools, and methodologies related to watershed management. The platform supports planning, research, policy, and public engagement by making complex, field-based knowledge accessible and actionable.
→ The Main Challenge
The challenge was to design a knowledge platform that supports multiple ways of navigating complex information — from geographic exploration to conceptual filtering. The system needed to accommodate varied content structures, connect related materials across contexts, and adapt to the diverse needs and entry points of its users.
→ The Solution
The platform combines a fixed side menu for filtering by content type, keywords, and themes, with a geographic map that enables spatial browsing of case studies. This dual structure supports multiple points of entry, allowing users to navigate the material in ways that match their context and intent.
Search Interface
A fixed sidebar acts as the platform’s central search tool. Users can filter content by “product” — a term used here to define different content types — allowing them to quickly narrow results to case studies, guides, recordings, and more.
Product Icons
Each content type is marked with a dedicated icon, providing a clear visual cue across filters and results. The icons support quick recognition and reinforce the site’s structural logic.
Geographic Exploration
Case studies can also be explored spatially through an interactive map, allowing users to browse by region. Hotspots on the map offer a quick preview on hover, encouraging intuitive, location-based discovery.
Search Results & Tag Refinement
Search results are presented alongside contextual tags that reflect key themes and terms. Users can click these tags to refine or expand their search, creating a more focused and layered discovery process.
→ Glossary Integration
The glossary functions as a shared language layer across the platform, offering clear definitions for key terms in the field of watershed management.
Exploring Terms
The glossary is organized alphabetically for quick browsing, with each entry linking to related terms for expanded exploration.
In-Context Linking
Glossary terms appear directly within case study texts, allowing users to access definitions on the spot. This seamless integration supports deeper understanding without disrupting the reading flow.
