They haven't touched that in almost ten years , and they're not really close now.<br /><br />The lower red line is the point below which it's dangerous to pump. They've dropped below that every summer for the last few years, so now there's a "black line," below which not only the lake but the water quality would suffer. They've touched that a couple of times in the last few years.<br /><br />See http://www.water.gov.il/Hebrew/WaterResources/Kinneret-Basin/Pages/default.aspx and http://www.savethekinneret.com/Nachumnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6573742.post-23748192669348827072012-03-18T15:44:07.255-04:002012-03-18T15:44:07.255-04:00Rainfall was much higher this year than the last f...Rainfall was much higher this year than the last few years, although the Kinneret is still far lower than the ideal. It's higher now than it's been in about five years, and will probably keep growing due to runoff for the next couple of months. A report today said, though, that runoff has been lower than usual for the last twenty or so years compared to the previous twenty or so. So, short version, good, but could be better.Nachumnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6573742.post-52617575678565412462012-03-15T15:18:08.687-04:002012-03-15T15:18:08.687-04:00How's the rain situation, Nachum?
