Na'aman River
Na'aman River (also Nahal Na'aman) is a stream in northwestern Israel.
==History==
Once known as Belus or Belos, the river is mentioned by Isidore of Seville.〔(Etymologiae )〕According to the legend, this is where glass-making was invented. Tacitus also mentions glassmaking at the Belus. Pliny the Elder (''Natural History'', 5.19), using the name 'Pacida', mentions that the river flowed from Lake Cendevia (now below Mount Carmel) for to the sea near "Ptolemais Ace" (Acre, Israel), and that it was celebrated for its vitreous sands. The name is based on ''Baal''.
This river is identified with what is now called the Na'aman River ((ヘブライ語:נחל נעמן)), south of Acre. Today the river originates from springs near Ein Afek, primarily Ein Nymphit, and flows through the Zevulun valley from south to north, before emptying into the Acre Bay on the Mediterranean sea.
The En Afek Nature Reserve near the Haifa Bay suburb of Kiryat Bialik, is the last remnant of Nahal Na‘aman wetlands.〔(En Afek Nature Reserve )〕
