Sulluh
River in the Tigray highlands of Ethiopia / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Sulluh is a river of northern Ethiopia. Rising in the mountains of Mugulat (3,298 metres (10,820 ft) above sea level), it flows southward to Giba River which empties finally in the Tekezé River.[2][3] Future Lake Giba will occupy the plain where Sulluh, Genfel and Agula'i Rivers meet.
