Nugaal

The 883rd longest river in the world

km

The Nugaal, is an intermittent river that runs along the Nugaal Valley in north east Somalia. It begins several miles to the west of Sool, and ends at Eyl where the outlet flows into the Indian Ocean. It evaporates at the onset of the hagaa, the Somali dry season. Due to mismanagement, the river bed has gone increasingly dry, and several Somali politicians have discussed repairing the damage.

Flows through: Somalia.
