Isser River

Isser River Basin

The Oued Isser is a river of Algeria. It begins in Médéa Province, is the main river, with Oued Sébaou of the Medea,[clarification needed] which runs through the Lower Kabylie of Djurdjura (or the current province of Boumerdès) Wilaya of Bouira,[clarification needed] then flows into the Mediterranean near the coastal town of Djinet in Lower Kabylia, attached to the province of Boumerdes.

The Oued Isser derives its name from the Roman name Serbetes, but other documentary sources give the name Serbetes to the Oued Sébaou.[1]

The hydronymy of the Oued Isser is very interesting from the point of view of the various linguistic appellations that designate it (Berber, Latin, Arabic and French).[2]
