While the Kinneret has risen 18cm since the beginning of the month, making it the strongest December since 2013, officials at the Water Authority say it’s just not enough as this major source of freshwater is still -231.67 meters below sea level. The Kinneret has only risen 2cm since Saturday, as rains fell mostly on the coastline-from Netanya to Ashkelon-and did not reach the Galilee and Golan areas.
