Sea of Galilee water level rises after heavy weekend rain
The water level of the Sea of Galilee, Israel’s main fresh water reservoir, has risen by an additional 7.5 centimeters (three inches) following this weekend’s heavy rain, the national Water Authority says.
A lack of rain over many years has seen the lake’s level drop sharply but since the beginning of the current winter, the level has risen by 1.87 meters (74 inches), already 22 centimeters more than in an average winter.
