SEA OF GALILEE DROPPING; BATHERS AND FISH IN DANGER

by Gil Ronen - The Sea of Galilee, known in Hebrew as the Kinneret, is nearing a critically low water level and this is affecting the safety of bathers in the sea as well as its fish population. The water shortage also threatens the fresh water supply to Israel's residents.

The sea's water level is currently reported at about 212.5 m. below sea level. This is just 50 cm. away from the "red line" of -213 m., the level at which the water supply situation is seen as worrying. It is not far away from the "black line," either: the absolute minimum level of -215 m.
