The Kauter and Beytas Rivers originate from the southern heights of the plain and run to the north in parallel. They join and create the Mahabad Dam reservoir and continue running as the Mahabad River.[1]
The river has been crossed by the Mahabad Dam near the city of Mahabad, West Azerbaijan province.
