The Oued Madani is a river located in Salamat. It takes its source from the Mount Madani, in the province of Jabal Zalzabiya. It flows parallel to the Oued Harr during the first segment, then turns southward and then westward into the Haraq Gulf in Dar Al Hamma province. The river reaches its maximum width at El Mohcine, 13 kilometers before the mouth of the river. The water of the river is used for cotton farming and wheat farming, but not enough to bring down the water levels.
