Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleThe Sea of Galilee rose by a centimeter and a half yesterday, reaching its highest level in 16 years, Haaretz reports.
According to officials who measure the water level every day, it’s currently at 208.985 meters (685.65 feet) below sea level. This is the first time the figure has dropped below 209 meters since 2005.
The level is just 18.5 centimeters (7.28 inches) below the “upper red line,” above which the lake would be in danger of overflowing.
