The Ministry of Health and the Ministry of Environmental Protection are informing the traveling public and the regional and local councils of unusual results in water sampling carried out to examine the state of pollution in the streams in the north.
In view of these results, entering these streams may be dangerous until the obtained sampling results are normal and stable:
- Jordan - from the Hori Bridge to the Kinneret estuary.
- Zaki
- The hexagon pool.
- Zalmon - a flour station.
- El Al - a black waterfall.
The Ministry of Environmental Protection found no known source of pollution in the streams.
Normally, sampling is carried out from one sample every two weeks through Nature and Parks Authority inspectors, at fixed sampling points in the northern streams (Upper Galilee, Golan and Western Galilee). The dots represent a waterfall, a pond or a section of a stream.
The Ministry of Health and the Ministry of Environmental Protection continue sampling and monitoring and will update as needed.
The sampling plan
In light of the current security situation in the north of the country, the sampling plan in the northern streams has been reduced compared to the 2023 plan and it does not include sampling in the streams or sections of the stream near the conflict line settlements in the Metula, Upper Galilee and Western Galilee.
