Khasa River
The Khasa River (Arabic: نهر خاصة, Kurdish: ڕووباری خاسە) is a winterbourne river which runs through the City of Kirkuk in northern Iraq.[1] It dries up completely in the summer, but turns into a raging river in the winter which floods its banks at times, as happened in the 1950s. The river has a symbolic value to the city's inhabitants. It is one of the tributaries of the Tigris River.

gollark: I mean, apart from opportunity cost and such, but it's not very hard to set up.
