[1] Boumerdes Valley is characterized by a riverbed free from schist and clay materials.
[3][4] The riverbed of Boumerdès Valley serves as a natural corridor, with a width ranging from 5 to 600 meters.
It descends gradually from its confluence with Meraldene River and Arbia Valley in the municipality of Thénia Beni Aicha, near Mount Bouarous in the south, flowing towards its mouth in the Mediterranean Sea to the east of Boumerdès city.
[6] During the rainy season, water flow increases, prompting the construction of bridges and pathways to facilitate the movement of residents in the villages and neighborhoods along its banks.
[7] Boumerdes Valley flows through a single coastal province in Algeria, traversing the Khachna Mountains.
