The Degania Dam is a small barrage across the Jordan River just below the Sea of Galilee near Degania Alef in northern Israel. The purpose of the dam is to regulate water levels in the Sea of Galilee and flows into the lower Jordan River. It has two floodgates capable of releasing 800 m3/s (28000 cu ft/s). The dam was completed in 1964.
