The good news at Lake Kinneret (also known as the Sea of Galilee) is continuing, with the recent winter mix of snow and rain helping to increase the amount of water.
Over the past week, the level of the lake rose 6.3 inches, bringing the water level to just 4.5 feet from full capacity – at which point the Degania Dam would be opened to relieve the pressure and prevent flooding.
