Dawa River

The Dawa River (Somali: Webiga Daawa; Laga Daawwaa (Oromo) Italian: fiume Daua) is found in East Africa, covering an area of 58,961 km2. It flows through three major countries: Kenya, Ethiopia, and Somalia, with 81% found in Ethiopian territory. 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. The wide river has gentle slopes either side of its exposed bedrock. The Dawa river flows south east to form part of both the Ethiopia–Somalia border and the Ethiopia–Kenya border. Awata, Digati, and Mormora are the only significant off-flowing rivers to Dawa.

Flows through: Ethiopia.
