Description :
The aim of this study is to determine the seasonal and spatial patterns of sedimentation rates in Lake Kinneret. The method used in this study minimized the problem of sediment resuspension from the lake bottom, by locating the traps above lake bottom. The rate of sedimentation near the Jordan's inflow is highly correlated to flow discharge in the river, while in the centre of the lake the seasonal sedimentation pattern is mainly correlated to the bloom period of Peridinium gatunense.
