Lake Kinneret watershed Inputs used in MEWS project

The project MEWS (Managing Events and Extremes in Water Supply) is a 3 year effort funded through the European Union Water4All partnership, and also with funding supplied by the funders associated with the participating countries. The project is led by Sweden with other participants from Germany, Israel, Denmark and Canada. The project is investigating the effects of hydroclimatic extreme events on drinking water supplies by examining the importance of not only the magnitude of extreme event inputs, but also the importance of the hydrodynamic regulation of the movement and processing of event water that moves through the water supply from inflow to withdrawal . Three water supplies under study are Lake Malaren Sweden, Lake Kinneret Israel , and the Ohra reservoir in Germany. The overriding goal of this project is to develop a freely available comprehensive modelling tool that will allow stakeholders to evaluate the effects of extreme hydro-climatic events on drinking water quality.

Here we provide an archive of the historical data used to test and develop the watershed model that simulate the inputs to the Lake Kinneret study site
