Afrin River

The Afrin River (Arabic: نهر عفرين Nahr ʻIfrīn; Kurdish: Çemê Efrînê; northern Syrian vernacular: Nahər ʻAfrīn; Turkish: Afrin Çayı) is a tributary of the Orontes River in Turkey and Syria.

It rises in the Kartal Mountains in Gaziantep Province of Turkey, flows south through the city of Afrin in northwest Syria, then reenters Turkey.

It joins the Karasu at the site of the former Lake Amik, and its waters flow to the Orontes by a canal.

More precisely, about 250 million m3 (8.8 billion cu ft) of the annual flow of the river comes from the Hatay Province of Turkey, while about 60 million m3 (2.1 billion cu ft) originates in Syria.
