The water level of the Dead Sea dropped by 11 centimeters last month, and the last measurement taken was 423 meters below sea level. On the other hand, Israel's main source of drinking water, the Kinneret, filled with rain water last week, which raised the lake's level by 7 centimeters.
In the last decade, the water level in the Dead Sea has dropped by a meter per year.
