The river is so named after the Israelite city of Dan, which was captured by the Tribe of Dan during the Judges period.[3] The tribe of Dan conquered the city, then named Laish and then occupied by Canaanites.
Although the Dan River itself is only about 20 km (12 miles) long, its flow provides up to 238 million cubic meters of water annually to the Hulah Valley. In 1966, this was a cause of dispute between Israeli water planners and conservationists, with the latter prevailing after three years of court appeals and adjudication. The result was a conservation project of about 120 acres (0.49 km2) at the source of the river called the Tel Dan Nature Reserve.

[es] Río Dan
El río Dan (en hebreo, דן, dan; en árabe, اللدان, al-Liddān) es el mayor afluente del río Jordán, cuya fuente se encuentra en la base del Monte Hermon. Hasta la Guerra de los Seis Días en 1967, el río Dan fue la única fuente del río Jordán dentro de territorio israelí. Su flujo proporciona hasta 238 millones de metros cúbicos de agua anuales al Valle de Jule. En 1966 fue causal de conflicto entre planificadores acuíferos y conservacionistas. El resultado fue la Reserva Tel Dan, un proyecto de conservación de alrededor de 120 hectáreas (0,49 km²) en la fuente del río.[ru] Лиддани
