The Water Authority reported Monday that the waterline of the Sea of Galilee in northern Israel rose by half a centimeter during the day, and stood at 209.255 meters (686.53 feet) below sea level.
The Sea of Galilee, Israel’s only sweet water lake, was just 45.5 cm (18 inches) short of reaching its full capacity, after which the lake may overflow and flood communities living on its shores.
