The Ba Tais Headworks which control the waters of the Wadi Bana

The Wadi Bana is a major wadi of southwestern Yemen. It flows from the mountains through the Abyan Governorate and eventually enters the Gulf of Aden in between the towns of Al Kawd (to the west) and the regional capital of Zinjibar (to the east). The wadi reportedly receives the most rainfall in the entire country, [1] which accounts for the agricultural lands which have grown up near its mouth in an otherwise barren country. Its mouth is located at 13°03′52″N45°23′10″E / 13.06444°N 45.38611°E / 13.06444; 45.38611 .

<span class="mw-page-title-main">River source</span> Starting point of a river

The headwater of a river or stream is the farthest point on each of its tributaries upstream from its mouth/estuary into a lake/sea or its confluence with another river. Each headwater is considered one of the river's sources, as it is the place where surface runoffs from rainwater, meltwater and/or spring water begin accumulating into a more substantial and consistent flow that becomes a first-order tributary of that river. The tributary with the longest course downstream of the headwaters is regarded as the main stem.
