Israel\'s winter rains continue to fall, and the Kinneret is rising slowly but steadily. Latest measurements show that the country\'s largest reservoir had reached a level of 214.28 meters below sea level - two feet higher than its lowest point at the end of last summer. It must still rise 1.28 meters (just over 4 feet) in order to reach what used to be considered its minimum level. Each foot (30 centimeters) of height represents 51 million cubic meters of water.
