The Kinneret is now 124.4 inches below its maximum level. As more expected rain falls and the snow on Mount Hermon melts into spring, the Kinneret is expected to continue rising.
Almost 40 inches of rain have fallen so far this winter, according to the authority, that is 12 inches more than the average amount of rain per year.
The Kinneret is a famous body of water, most known for its prominence in the Christian Bible. Jesus is thought to have lived in the Galilee.
