Gold-DateRaz Reservoir - Gal'ed
In Hebrew: מאגר רז - גלעד
Please note: Wastewater is pumped into Raz Reservoir, and the water in it is polluted. The water is deep, and there is no lifeguard.
An amazing lake full of water, at least 5 meters deep, with spots to jump into the lake. The water is cold but quite polluted from the herd of cows that hangs around in it. The reservoir was created unintentionally alongside the western reservoir, and it is cleaner from pollution because no wastewater is pumped into it.

Tips from the community
The "Raz" reservoir was established by Kibbutz Gal'ed to catch the water of Nahal Raz in order to have a water reserve for irrigating the avocado orchard. Reclaimed wastewater from Kibbutz Gal'ed and Kibbutz Dalia is also pumped into the reservoir, which is why it is contaminated. Due to a planning error, another reservoir formed on the eastern side of Raz Reservoir. This eastern reservoir fills with water from Nahal Raz, making it clean from pollution. This reservoir has no name!!! The names of the stream and the reservoir (Raz) are after the son of the engineer who designed the diversion and the reservoir! (He was a water engineer who worked at Tahal and was a member of Kibbutz Gal'ed, and it was just a coincidence that the Arabic name of the stream was Wadi ar-Ras). The eastern reservoir created by mistake was never given a name! The youth of Kibbutz Gal'ed built a ramp above the eastern reservoir on its northern side.
