Abstract
The objective of this study is re-evaluation of the long-term record of limnological parameters in Lake Kinneret (1970–2018) and its drainage basin (1940–2018) aimed at an indication of the possible impact of climate change on water quality in Lake Kinneret. The methodological approach is based on indication of significant changes, of temperature increase, decline in rainfall, causing a reduction in river discharges, and lake water inflows. These climatological changes were accompanied by a reduction in nitrogen and a slight increase in phosphorus in the lake Epilimnion. The outcome was Epilimnetic Nitrogen deficiency and Phosphorus sufficiency, which enhanced domination replacement of Peridinium spp. by Cyanobacterial. We concluded sequel suggested climate change affected water quality deterioration in Lake Kinneret.

Lake Kinneret in the Syrian-African rift valley in northern Israel (Figures 1 and 2) is the only natural freshwater lake in Israel. Kinneret is a warm Monomictic lake stratified from. May to December [1,2,3,4] Above 95% of the Israeli natural water resources are utilized. The total national water supply is 2.11 bcm, of which 0.55 bcm comes from the Kinneret-Jordan system and 0.7 bcm from desalinization. Lake Kinneret supplies national multi-ecological services, such as water supply and recreation, and is exploited for fishing by about
