	Lake Kinneret
		The Kinneret is a freshwaterlake in northeast Israel.
		In Bible times, Kinneret served as a prominent boundary mark: in the Canaanite era, it was the border of Sidon, king of the Amorites, and after Israel's conquest of the land, it marked the boundary between the territories of Naphtali on its western shores and Manasseh on its eastern shores.
		Beginning with the 20th century, Jewish settlement was gradually revived on the lake's west and south shores, with the founding of such settlements as Deganyah and Kinneret, and later on the east shore with the establishment of Kibbutz Ein Gev.

		Kinneret, they, explain, comes from the Hebrew kinnara, a species of sweet fruit that is no longer found today, and which grew in abundance on the shores of the lake.
		Lake Kinneret, the Sea of Genossar, or the Sea of Galilee for the Jews, the Lake of Genesaret for Christians and the barh Tubarya for the Arabs, sits on one of the depressions that are strung out along the Syro-African rift, and covers an area of area of 165 square kilometers.
		The important Zionist socialist ideas were born on the shores of the lake and on the kibbutz, particularly the notion of the moshav.

		Israel's National Water Carrier, built in 1964, transports water from the lake to the population centers of Israel, and is the source of most of the country's drinking water.

	Israel: Lake Kinneret (Sea of Galilee)
		Lake Kinneret (also known under historical names such as Sea of Galilee, Sea of Tiberias, Lake of Gennesaret) is indeed a remarkable site.
		This lake fed by Jordan river is more than 200 meters below the sea level, so many plants flourish in hot and humid climate on its shores.
		The bottom of the lake is dark basalt sand, that's why the water of Kinneret is of dark blue colour when you look at it from the distance.

	Hulah Valley - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Thus, a small section of the former lake and swamp region was recently reflooded in an attempt to prevent further soil deterioration and to revive the nearly extinct ecosystem.
		Lake Hula was referred to by many different names: In the 14th century BCE, the Egyptians called the lake - Samchuna.
		As concern was voiced by scientists and naturalists who opposed the project because they viewed the swamps as an ecological treasure that must be preserved for future generations, a small (3.50 km²) area of papyrus swampland in the southwest of the valley was set aside and in 1963, became Israel's first nature reserve.

		Thus the parasite epidemic confirms the stock estimate of ~30,000 T, and demonstrates that this is the carrying capacity of the lake.
		Thus, the superabundance of the 1990/91 and 1991/92 lavnun broods was related to an increase in authochthonous carbon resulting from the lowering of lake level to nearly -213 m (Landau, 1996; 1997).
		The 'top' predators of the Kinneret ecosystem, the catfish Clarias lazera (safamnun) and barbels (binnit) are known to eat lavnun, but their combined populations were insignificant in relation to the lavnun biomass in 1997.

	Lake Kinneret beachline opens up as illegal fences come tumbling down - Haaretz - Israel News
		Following the report, SPNI activists broke through a number of segments of a trail around the lake, along 35 of a total of 56 kilometers that can already be walked.
		Arnon Hefetz, head of the local committee of the village of Kinneret, in whose jurisdiction another fence came down yesterday, said sadly, "The victim of the removal of the fences is the Kinneret." Hefetz, like many area residents and those operating beach concessions, argues that beaches opened to the public become dirty and neglected.
		Ohion slammed local authorities that "saw the fences going up and took no action to halt the phenomenon." He added "the local authorities responded with long delays to the builders of the fences, until a sad picture was created here where the state was not protecting its lands.

	Jesus walked on ice, says study led by FSU scientist
		In what is now northern Israel, such ice could have formed on the cold freshwater surface of the Sea of Galilee—known as Lake Kinneret by modern-day Israelis—when already chilly temperatures briefly plummeted during one of the two protracted cold periods between 2,500 and 1,500 years ago.
		A frozen patch floating on the surface of the small lake would have been difficult to distinguish from the unfrozen water surrounding it.
		Their analysis supports the likelihood that a brief blast of frigid air descended over the lake and dropped to 25 F (-4 C) for at least two days, coinciding with the chill that had already settled in for a century or more and quite possibly encompassed the decades in which Jesus lived.
