Lake Hula, north east Israel

Lake Hula, near sea-level lake formed by a natural dam of basalt, NE Israel; the Jordan River exits from its southern end. In the past few years, following nearly 50 years of an unsuccessful struggle to utilize the drained valley's resources, the State of Israel has finally recognized that successful development can endure only if a balanced compromise between nature and development is reached. 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.
