Storms End
Israel Drought

Tel Aviv (JTA) — This
winter of almost unrelieved
foul weather has been
unkind to Israelis. But it
may have ended a three-year
drought, solving the coun-
try's dire water problem.
Most areas of the country
have already received more
precipitation than the an-
nual average, with nearly
two months to go before the
rainy season is officially
over.
Lake Kinneret, the coun-
try's largest freshwater res-
ervoir, has risen by nearly
six feet from the dangerous-
ly low level it had fallen to
before this winter's
downpours.
Meteorologists expect the
Kinneret, also known as the
Sea of Galilee, will be back
to normal before the end of
the rainy season. At that
point, the floodgates leading
into the Jordan River will
have to be opened to avoid
inundating the lake shores,
including the resort town of
Tiberias.
The government-owned
Mekorot Water Co. has
resumed pumping from the
lake into the national water
conduits which empty into
the coastal wells to replenish
depleted groundwater.
But Water Commissioner
Dan Zaslaysky says he won't
be satisfied until Israel has
two or three more years of
above average rainfall.
Jerusalem, meanwhile, is
bracing for another blizzard,
such as the one that hit the
city at the beginning of
January. It blocked roads
with felled trees and downed
power lines.
