Togdheer River
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Togdheer River (Somali Wabi Togdheer) is a seasonal river in the Togdheer region of Somaliland. The river course starts in the foothills of the Golis Mountains, flows south through the city of Burao, and vanishes into the eastern plains of Togdheer and the northern part of Sool. The riverbed is usually dry, but is subject to flooding when heavy rains fall in the mountains. The river's name comes from "Tog" (Somali for riverbed) and "dheer" (Somali for long). The Togdheer region is also named after the river.
