Togdheer River

Togdheer River (Somali Wabi Togdheer) is a seasonal river in the Togdheer region of northern Somalia. The region is named after the river. The river's name comes from "Tog" (which means "riverbed" in the Somali language) and "dheer" (Somali for "long").

The Togdheer River rises in the foothills of the Golis Mountains, flows south through the city of Burao, and vanishes into the eastern plains of the Togdheer region and the northern part of Sool. The riverbed is usually dry, but is subject to flooding when heavy rains fall in the mountains.
