Abstract
Lake Kinneret (Sea of Galilee) is the only one natural freshwater lake in Israel. The lake is fed mostly (65 %) by Jordan river inflow from northern side and additional several smaller rivers from western, and eastern sides. The Kinneret-River Jordan system supply 16 30 % of the national water consumption and >50 % of the national drinking water demands. Therefore the Kinneret water quality is of a national concern (Gophen 2002; 2003b).River Jordan is crossing the Hula Valley (Maps 3.9.1, 3.9.2) before meeting the lake body of water. Consequently, human intervention in the ecosystem structure, climate changes significantly affect Jordan and Kinneret water quality. As a result of a long history of human activities and climate changes, ecological and limnological conditions of the Hula Valley and Lake Kinneret were changed. In this paper I present an ecological analysis of the Hula Valley and Lake Kinneret long term record aimed at evaluate man made and climate changes.
