Dawa River
River in Somalia, Kenya / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Dawaro River (Somali: Webiga Daawa; Amharic: ዳዋ ወንዝ; Italian: fiume Daua) is found in East Africa, covering an area of, 58,961 km2.[1] It flows through three major countries: Kenya, Ethiopia, and Somalia, with 81% falling into Ethiopian territory.[1] It is known for its complex geological environment, evident through its diverse lithology and structural framework, coming from the river's closeness to multiple volcanic-tectonic events.[2] The wide river has gentle slopes either side of its exposed bedrock. The Dawa river flows south east to form part of the Ethiopia - Somalia border and part of Ethiopia - Kenya border.[2] Awata, Digati, and Mormora are the only significant off-flowing rivers to Dawa.
