Sea of Galilee level drops for first time since start of winter
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleFor the first time since the start of the winter, the water level of the Sea of Galilee drops.
With a one centimeter decline, the level of Israel’s largest freshwater lake is now 208.93 centimeters below sea level, 13 centimeters below its “upper red line,” above which it is in danger of overflowing.
The Water Authority attributes the decline to increased pumping and evaporation due to the strong winds over the weekend.
