Efrenk River (also called Suntras or Arslanlöy River in the upper reaches and Müftü River in the lower reaches) is a short river in Mersin Province, Turkey. It was originally called Efrenk River. After a mosque named Müftü Mosque was built by the river in Mersin, it was popularly renamed Müftü River. GeographyThe headwaters are in the Toros Mountains, near the town of Arslanköy and the village of Atlılar (Sadiye). The river runs east and then south, flowing to the Mediterranean Sea within the city of Mersin at {{coord|36|47|06|N|34|37|16|E}}. In fact the river is the borderline between the second level municipalities of Mersin; Yenişehir is to the west and Akdeniz and Toroslar are to the east of the river. There are five bridges within Mersin and one on the Çukurova motorway just north of the city. HydrologyThe drainage basin is only {{convert|480|km2|mi2}} in area. But the altitudes of the headwaters are about {{convert|1500|m}}. Thus the river flows fast. Like the other locations of the Mediterranean Region annual precipitation is mostly in the spring and the winter. So the flow rate is highly irregular depending on the season. While the average flow rate is quite low, 303 m3/s (10700 ft3/s) had been recorded during the flood of 2001.[1] Arslanköy pondArslanköy pond is an artificial pond on the upper reaches of the river. The storage capacity is 1.3 hm3 (1.7·106yd3) and the total irrigation area is about 1.78 km2 (0.69 mi2).[2] References1. ^A report {{tr icon}} {{Rivers of Turkey}}{{Mersin Province}}{{DEFAULTSORT:Muftu River}}2. ^General Directorate of State Hydraulic Works page 2 : Rivers of Turkey|Landforms of Mersin Province |
