Naharayim or Baqoura is a site in Jordan adjacent to the Israeli border, where the Yarmouk River flows into the Jordan River.The area includes the Island of Peace, and a hydroelectric power-plant dating to 1932. The plant, established by Pinhas Rutenberg, produced much of the energy consumed in Mandatory Palestine until the 1948 Palestine war.
