This is a diverse investigation employing both field and numerical methods.
Lake Kinneret provides approximately 50% of the drinking water and 25% of all water for Israel, so the water quality, and hence, the water circulation, is of the upmost importance.
The first part of the investigation has been to establish a parameterization of the fluxes in the benthic boundary layer of a stratified lake and to assess the importance of the benthic boundary layer flux for the biogeochemical processes in the lake.

The objectives of this study were: (1) to characterize the C1 uptake mechanisms in P.GATUNENSE; (2) to follow changes in carbonate chemistry of the lake during the P.GATUNENSE bloom, and to examine the role of CO2 availability as a factor influencing the bloom dynamics and species composition.
The response of natural populations of P. GATUNENSE to changes with time in the concentration of C1 in Lake Kinneret subsurface water was recorded by examining seasonal fluctuations in the activity of CA and in photosynthetic parameters.
Lake Kinneret P. GATUNENSE is succeeded by PERIDINIOPSIS spp., the photosynthetic rates and external CA activities of which were much higher under environmental conditions typical of the end of the bloom.

 israelinsider: Culture: Heavy winter rains raise Kinneret waters, but lake far from optimal level   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
Due to a serious drought over the past ten years and excessive pumping of its water, the level of the Kinneret, which serves as a natural barometer for the country's water supply, has fallen below a 'red line,' leading officials to set yet another 'red line' for the lake's minimal level.
The Kinneret also loses nearly one centimeter of water a day during the summer months due to evaporation.
If the rainfall continues for the remainder of the winter season, there is a chance that the Kinneret water level could increase by as much as three meters this year.
