Since 1999 some structural, technical and logistical changes were introduced into the monitoring-management systems of Lake Kinneret. These changes led to a lake-watershed integrated monitoring system with synoptic and continuously measurements operation. In the current work the above system will be described including the physical setting, the structure of the monitoring system and the way in which it has been operated and developed, mainly in the last 5 years. The Monitoring Task Force, set up by the Water Commissioner in 1998, coordinates the monitoring work of all organizations and guides improvements of the monitoring system, by introducing new sampling and analysis techniques. A series of management activities in the watershed were carried out in order to reduce nutrient load from the watershed to the lake. The innovations presented in the current work are part of the efforts to monitor, researching and manage Lake Kinneret and its Watershed according to environmental, anthropogenic and political constrains.
