Corhana
The Corhana is a river in western Romania and eastern Hungary, a tributary of the Crișul Repede.[1] Its source is 2 km south of the village Șauaieu. It flows in western direction towards Cefa, where much of its flow is diverted by the Criș Collector Canal towards the Crișul Negru near Tămașda.[2] Part of its flow continues west and crosses the Hungarian border near Geszt. The river is diverted into the canals of the drainage system of the area.
