Wadi al-Batin
Wadi Al-Batin is a intermittent river in Saudi Arabia and Kuwait. It runs 45 miles (75 km) in a northeast-southwest direction through the Al-Dibdibah plain and has been recognized since 1913 as the boundary between western Kuwait and Iraq.[1]
The now non active alluvial fan, extends northeastward from Hafar Al-Batin in Saudi Arabia to cover parts of Kuwait and southwestern Iraq. This alluvial fan may have formed the Al-Dibdibah gravel plain.[2]
The wadi was the site of the Battle of Wadi Al-Batin in 1991 and some evangelical Christian believe the wadi to be the biblical Pishon River.[3]
