Yarqon River

   Also found in: Wikipedia 0.23 sec.

Yarqon River

River, west-central Israel. It rises near Rosh Ha-Ayin and flows westward for about 16 mi (26 km) to the Mediterranean Sea near northern Tel Aviv-Jaffa. It marks the boundary between the Plain of Sharon and the coastal lowlands. Since the construction and expansion of the Yarqon-Negev Project in the 1950s (see Negev), the water level has gone down, and pollution has increased. During World War I (1914–18), it was the site of several important British victories over the Ottoman Empire in the Allied Powers' conquest of Palestine.
