These arise in the Taurus Mountains . The Berdan Çayı is then dammed by the Berdan Dam . Below the dam are the Berdan waterfalls on the river. The river flows through the city of Tarsus and the extreme west of the Çukurova Plain in a southerly direction before reaching the Mediterranean Sea about one kilometer northwest of the Seyhan Estuary. The Berdan Çayı has a length including its left source river Kadıncık of 124 km. The catchment area covers 1592 km². The mean discharge is 42 m³ / s.
