Figure 4

Maps of water table elevations for the upper (a,b) and lower (c,d) sub-aquifers. Each is calculated numerically for two given lake stands: −400 mbsl for the current Dead Sea and −160 mbsl for Lake Lisan highest stand. Under the Dead Sea conditions, the upper sub-aquifer is partly dry. The lines represent locations of the hydrogeological cross sections shown in Fig. 5. Major flow trajectories (arrows) demonstrate the shift of the groundwater flow direction from the Samaria Mountains.
