Abstract
Water quality deterioration as a result of pollution
comprised of several aspects, among others: nutrient input loads, fishery
management, hydrological budget, toxicity, watershed deforestation, soil
exposure, and exotic invaders. Thermal pollution is mostly considered as the
impact of power or nuclear Station effluent or the effect of exceptional
thermal abrupt shock. The long-term influence of global warming consideration
is not extensively studied. The long-term (1969-2001) effect of climate change
(warming and precipitation decline) on the Lake Kinneret ecosystem is
presented. Water and air Temperature, Heat Capacity and Thermal conductivity of
water combined with reduced precipitation accompanied by lake water level
decline are analyzed. It was found that the temperature of surface water
increased with WL decline and decreased in deep layers during high WL. Future
management design is suggested.
