Definition(s)

Beyazsu is a natural freshwater source located between Midyat and Nusaybin in Mardin province

used as a drinking water source.

Beyazsu is located approximately 15–20 km south of Midyat district and approximately 20–25 km north of Nusaybin district, along the road connecting these two districts. The Beyazsu Stream originates from the plateaus and foothills south of Midyat and flows through a valley toward Nusaybin. In this generally arid and treeless region, Beyazsu is distinguished by its clear, cool water sourced from karst springs and features local trees and greenery.


The Beyazsu spring is used year-round to meet the drinking water needs of the city of Mardin and surrounding districts. Along the banks of the Beyazsu River, fish restaurants serve local freshwater fish such as trout; these restaurants feature traditional wooden tables and seating arrangements positioned over the stream.
