The lake and its drainage basin are two ecologically related parts of one ecosystem and are influenced both by natural and anthropogenic parameters. Regional trends of climate change and dryness process (SPI, Standard Precipitation Index enhancement) expressed as precipitation decline, air and lake water temperature increase, river discharges and lake input volumes restriction and consequently decline of WL and water availability for domestic and agricultural supply and elongation of RT duration, increase of Lake water salinity, Epilimnetic Nitrogen deficiency and Phosphorus sufficiency enhanced replacement of Peridinium by cyanobacterial biomass.

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. This study exemplifies that even minor thermal fluctuations might be a signal of ecological modification. The only thermal measure of degrees might be insignificance for a lake under water input reduction accompanied by WL and volume decline. Future management design is suggested.

Abstract Uptake of T 2 -Coliphages by mosquito ( Culex pipiens molestus ) larvae was measured at ... more Abstract Uptake of T 2 -Coliphages by mosquito ( Culex pipiens molestus ) larvae was measured at three temperatures and different concentrations of Coliphages. Degradation of the Coliphages by the larvae was indicated. The role of mosquito larvae in sewage purification systems is discussed.
