Sampling and measurement sites include sites along the river, tributaries, drainages, fishponds, and soil samples. Agricultural drainages are marked as straight lines. Segment N1 is Dalhamiya (Site 6) to Gesher (Site 8), N2 is Gesher (Site 8) to Nave Ur (Site 11), and N3 is Nave Ur (Site 16) to Hamadiya (Site 19). For site information see Table 1.
