"Nahal Hermon (Banias) - נחל חרמון - הבניאס, is a perennial stream whose water originates on Mt. Hermon. The Banias waterfall is 10 meters high. A tree divides the fall at the top. The cliff is travertine-covered basalt. The flow rate varies with the seasons: 0.7 m/sec in fall, 4.5 m/sec in spring. The annual volume is 25 million cubic meters."
