Nahal Hevron

The Hebron River, also known as Nahal Hevron in Hebrew and Wadi al-Samen and Wadi al-Khalil in Arabic, flows along the Judea-Negev border. The city of Hebron, which is primarily under the Palestinian Authority, is the source of the Hebron River. This is one of longest Rivers in State of Palestine.

The Nahal Hevron is part of the Besor Stream's basin. It flows through Dahariya, Beersheba, and the northern Negev, draining into Nahal Be'er Sheva at Omer before ending in the Mediterranean Sea on the Gaza Strip's coasts. The river flows through the jurisdictional regions of Meitar, Abu Basma, Omer, Tel Sheva, and Galili in Israel's territory, and is managed by the Ministry of the Interior. "Longing for the River" is an educational program run by the Ministry of Environmental Protection, the Society for the Protection of Nature in Israel (SPNI), and the Shikma-Besor Drainage Authority in the Hebron Stream.

The three-year strategy is directed at those living near the Hebron River, with the goal of increasing knowledge and responsibility for the river and its environs. The program is concerned with how the formal and informal education systems may contribute to the creation of a knowledge base, connections, and a sense of belonging among various demographic groups and streams.
