After 5th consecutive drought year, natural water sources in worst state in years

After a fifth consecutive drought year, natural water sources are in “the worst state in years,” according to the Israel Water Authority.

In a new report, the authority warns that water in the Sea of Galilee will likely drop below the “black line,” a dangerously low level that can create irreversible ecological problems, including an increase in the water’s salinity and algae blooms that can do permanent damage to the water quality, and flora and fauna.
