  With the very recent completion of the new Unity
  Dam upstream on the Yarmouk between Jordan and
  Syria, the winter floodwaters that used to flow
  down the Yarmouk and into the Jordan will be
  captured and diverted as well

exist today it is possible to flood the lake
once again using the dams on the Yarmouk, as well
as bringing in water from the Sea of Galilee,
without the need for energy or pumping, by using
Canal 0.
