Baht River

The 883rd longest river in the world

km

The Baht River is a watercourse in Morocco that is a tributary to the Sebou River. Also known as the Oued Beht, this river rises in the Middle Atlas mountain range. The Baht is impounded by the El Kansera irrigation dam about 20 kilometres (12 mi) south of Sidi Slimane.

In the upper parts of the watershed within the Middle Atlas is the prehistoric range of the endangered primate Barbary macaque, which prehistorically had a much larger range in North Africa.
