A southern bound of Judah (Joshua 15:3). From the Arabic kerak "an even floor," and kaa "a plain." Karkaa is a level expanse, the receptacle of a large body of water. The wady Arish receives on the E. the waters of wady el Kureiyeh and its tributaries. Karkaa was situated perhaps where the northern Kaa or "plain of pools" touches this outlying district of the Holy Land, in the confluence of the wady el Kureiyeh with the Mayein.
From the co-author of the classic Jamieson, Fausset and Brown Commentary, Fausset's Bible Dictionary stands as one of the best single-volume Bible encyclopedias ever written for general use. The author's writing style is always clear and concise, and he tackles issues important to the average student of the Bible, not just the Biblical scholars. This makes Fausset an excellent tool for both everyday Bible study and in-depth lesson or sermon preparation.Wikipedia
