This morning's measurements show that the Kinneret Sea has risen 11
centimeters since Friday, standing now at 211.72 meters below sea
level. The flow into the Kinneret, Israel's largest reservoir, was
actually stronger than those numbers indicate, but the Mekorot Water
Company has been streaming water from the Kinneret into underground
reservoirs in central Israel and elsewhere. Mekorot drew 25 million cubic
meters of water (about 15 centimeters of height) from the Kinneret this
month - six times more than originally planned. This winter's rains has
gained the Kinneret 2.7 meters, leaving another 2.8 meters to reach its
optimum level. Some rain is expected today in northern Israel, spreading
towards the center this evening.
