This condensed volume summarizes updated knowledge on the
warm-monomictic subtropical Lake Kinneret, including its
geophysical setting, the dynamics of physical, chemical and
biological processes and the major natural and anthropogenic
factors that affect this unique aquatic ecosystem. This work
expands on a previous monograph on Lake Kinneret published in 1978
and capitalizes on the outcome of more than 40 years of research
and monitoring activities. These were intensively integrated with
lake management aimed at sustainable use for supply of drinking
water, tourism, recreation and fishery. The book chapters are aimed
at the limnological community, aquatic ecologists, managers of
aquatic ecosystems and other professionals. It presents the
geographic and geological setting, the meteorology and hydrology of
the region, continues with various aspects of the pelagic and the
littoral systems. Finally, the last section of the book addresses
lake management, demonstrating how the accumulated knowledge was
applied in order to manage this important source of freshwater. The
section on the pelagic system comprises the heart of the book,
addressing the major physical processes, external and internal
loading, the pelagic communities (from bacteria to fish),
physiological processes and the major biogeochemical cycles in the
lake.
