Nahal Livnim (Hebrew:נחל ליבנים) is a tributary of Nahal Amud in the Upper Galilee region of northern Israel.[1] The stream flows from west to east, with its upper part beginning at an elevation of 303 meters above sea level on the Livnim Ridge, south of Kfar Hananya, and it empties into Nahal Amud at an elevation of 11 meters below sea level near Khirbet Sirin in the Sirin Plateau.[2][3]

The stream passes north of Kadarim, and within it lies the Livnim Spring. It spans an area with slopes averaging a gradient of about 19%. The region hosts a variety of natural flora and fauna, making it an ecologically rich and diverse environment.[4]
Over the years, the stream has been impacted by the construction of various infrastructures in the area, including roads and interchanges, which have disrupted the natural ecological corridor. Despite efforts to preserve the site, the damage to the stream channel and its surroundings has been significant, leading to partial destruction of the unique habitat.[4]
