The Kinneret Authority expressed hope on Thursday "that the rainy winter system will return next week and add more water to agricultural areas, streams, reservoirs and aquifers, and of course to the Sea of Galilee."
Following measurements of a 5.5-centimeter rise in the lake's water level over the past 24 hours, a statement by the authority said, "There are still good flows of water in the streams to the Jordan and the Sea of Galilee."
