The Water Commissionership will recommend that the new government enact the following water restrictions: No watering of public or private gardens for the next three years; the raising of home-consumption water prices; and further cutbacks in agricultural and industrial water quotas. The stringent proposals are a result of the drought of the past three years and the worsening water crisis. The lowering of the government-mandated \"red line\" - the level of the Sea of Galilee (Kinneret) below which it is not permissible to draw water - will also be considered. The \"red line\" currently stands at 213 meters below sea level; the current level of the Kinneret is 18 centimeters below that. The Kinneret has risen only some 55 centimeters since the end of last summer.
