Desalinated seawater will maintain the level of the lake, enhance the ecological aspects of the region, and help supply water to Jordan.
Globes reports that the Mekorot Israel National Water Co. and the Israel Water Authority today launched the "Reverse Water Carrier" project in the north.
The project will allow desalinated water from the Mediterranean Sea to flow inland to Lake Kinneret (Sea of Galilee). The aim of the project, which has been set up at a cost of NIS 1 billion, is to maintain the level of the Kinneret in dry and low rainfall years.
Most of the water, which today flows out of the taps in Israeli homes comes from desalination plants and not from the Kinneret.
