NAHR EL 'AUJA. 41
Yaba (alt. 495 feet), where it leaves the hills, and passes north-westward to its junction with the Nahr el 'Auja.
Below Kurawa, the Wady Keiya takes up the drainage of the southern edge of the division, rising on the south of Neby Saleh (alt. 1,866 feet), and running on to 'Abud (alt. 1,240 feet), to join the Ballut at 'Ain Sarina.
West of 'Ain Sarina, the Wady Suhary rises, and skirts the southern edge of the division among the hills, entering the plain between Kuleh and Eantieh ; where the wady turns to the north and north-west, by Neby Tari and Fejja, to join the Ballut on the east of Mulebbis.
On the right bank, the Ballut receives only one notable valley, which rises between Merda and Ishaka, has branches from Selfit and Furkhah, and falls into the Ballut on the south of Berukin.
The Watercourses of the Southern Division of El 'Auja Basin.
At Kefr Ana all the watercourses of this division unite in Wady Nusrah, which runs on by Ibn Ibrak, Selmeh, and Sarona, to the Nahr el 'Auja at Jerisheh, the junction being only about a mile and a half from the sea.
Between Selmeh and Kantieh, there are three small but distinct tributaries to Wady Nusrah. They come from the north-western edge of the division, and have their junctions at Selmeh, Ibn Ibrak, and Kefr 'Ana, respectively.
Between Rantieh and a point on the east of 'Abud (alt. 1,240 feet), a combination of wadys arises, which unite at el Khurab, and run on to Kefr 'Ana. The first descends from the edge of the division, on the west of ed Diurah, runs under Kh. el Muntar and Deir Alia (alt. 675 feet), and enters the plain to reach et Tireh and el Khurab. The second rises in the Khallet (ravine) es Salib, which skirts the northern edge of the division between Abud and el Lubban, where it bends round sharply to the south-west, passing in a gorge below Rentis (alt. 685 feet), to Khurbet 'Azzaz. Here
it receives a tributary coming from Abud, and from Deir Abu
