Sea of Galilee’s waterline expected to rise above lower red line
(Worthy News) – The water level in the Sea of Galilee, or Kinneret, is expected to climb above the freshwater lake’s lower red line for the first time in two years, at which point pumping will no longer face government restrictions.
The water level now stands at 23 centimeters below the lower red line, but is expected to pass that within a few weeks, thanks to the heavy rains and snow this winter. Since Thursday, the waterline has risen by 10.5 centimeters (4.13 inches), the Water Authority says, and by a total of 1.405 meters (4.6 feet) since the beginning of Israel’s rainy season.
“Despite the heavy rainfalls that have been hitting Israel over the past few weeks, the Sea of Galilee is still 4.435 meters (174.6 inches) short of reaching its full capacity. We expect that by the beginning of March, the waterline will rise above the lower red line,” said a Water Authority official. [ Source: Ynet News (Read More…) ]
