Cẩm Lệ River

The 883rd longest river in the world

km

The Cầu Đỏ River (Vietnamese: sông Cầu Đỏ) or Cẩm Lệ River (Vietnamese: sông Cẩm Lệ) is a river in Da Nang, Vietnam. It is formed where the Yên and the Túy Loan join on the boundary between the districts Hòa Vang and Cẩm Lệ. Its flow mostly follows this district boundary, to finally flow between the wards Hòa Xuân and Khuê Trung of Cẩm Lệ district, to the tripoint of the districts Cẩm Lệ, Ngũ Hành Sơn, and Hải Châu, where it joins the Đò Toản to form the Hàn River. The Da Nang Water Supply Company, which supplies the city of Da Nang with freshwater, relies in big part on the Cầu Đỏ River for water intake. During the dry season, this is made difficult by saltwater intrusion, which has become worse since the construction of hydroelectric projects upstream.

Flows through: Vietnam.
