The Kinneret is continuing to rise, despite the heat wave and ongoing pumping into the National Water Carrier.

Yitzhak Gal, head of information at the Lake Kinneret Authority, said there is still a strong flow from the Jordan and other streams into the lake.

"I'm going to take a chance and predict that even without further substantial rainfall, the level of water is likely to continue to rise for the next 20 days or so at th...
