km

Nahal Taninim or Tanninim (lit. 'Crocodiles Stream') or Wadi az-Zarka (lit. 'Blue Stream') is a river in Israel near the Arab town Jisr az-Zarqa, originating near Ramot Menashe and emptying into the Mediterranean Sea south of Ma'agan Michael. It marks the southern limit of the Hof HaCarmel, or Carmel Coastal Plain, region. There is a dam on the river channel that is used for a nearby power plant. During the rainy season, water from the stream is diverted to a reservoir to enrich the groundwater.
