After an unusually wet winter, Israel’s Lake Kinneret is full for the first time in decades.
In just two years, the Kinneret has risen by more than 5.5 meters. The water level is only 21 cm. from the line that marks its full capacity.
In order to prevent flooding, authorities will likely use the Degania Dam to release excess water into the Jordan River.
Built in 1931, the dam has only been opened twice in Israel’s history – in 1969 and 1992.
