Ayun Stream
Ayun Stream (, romanized Nahal Ayun, ''lit.'' Ayun Stream), sometimes spelled Nahal Iyyon, in ''Bureighit'', or in full Nahr Bareighit, is a perennial stream and a tributary of the Jordan River. The stream originates from two springs in the Marjayoun (Merj 'Ayun) valley in southern Lebanon, runs southward for seven kilometers through various irrigation ditches, then flows into Israel near Metulla, where it continues through the Hula Valley in the Galilee Panhandle until emptying in the Hasbani River just before it reaches the Jordan River. Course of the stream The Nahal Ayun originates near Marj Ayun in South Lebanon, flowing about 7 km through the Ayun Valley, branching into numerous irrigation channels until it enters Israel near Metula. From there, the stream flows in a canyon channel descending from about 500 meters above sea level to about 300 meters south of Tel Abel Beit Maacah, then gradually through the Hula Valley.

Hasbani River
The Hasbani ( / ALA-LC: ''al-Ḥāṣbānī''; ''Ḥatzbaní'') or Snir Stream ( / ''Nahal Sənir''), is the major tributary of the Jordan River that flows in Lebanon, the Golan Heights and Israel. In the mid-19th century, what the Westerners would call 'Upper Jordan River', the locals called Nahr Hasbani, Arabic for Hasbani River. The Hasbani River derives most of its discharge from two springs in Lebanon, the Wazzani and the Haqzbieh, the latter being a group of springs on the uppermost Hasbani. The Hasbani runs for through the Wadi al-Taym in Lebanon before crossing the border at Ghajar and shortly after joining with the Banias and Dan Rivers at a point in northern Israel, to form the River Jordan. For about downstream of Ghajar, the Hasbani forms the border between Lebanon and the Golan Heights. The Wazzani's and the Haqzbieh's combined discharge averages 138 million m³ per year. About 20% of the Hasbani flow emerges from the Wazzani Spring at Ghajar, close to t ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
