During the post-rainy seasons its excess water falls down over the cliffs to create an artificial waterfall to the east of Elvanlı. The waterfall is a popular excursion area for Mersin citizens. The river then flows between the towns of Kargıpınarı and Çeşmeli and discharges to Mediterranean Sea at 36°39′51″N 34°25′42″E. ()
