Dawa

The Dawa river is located in East Africa and spans 58,961 km2. It passes through three major countries: Kenya, Ethiopia, and Somalia, with Ethiopia receiving 81 percent of the flow. Because of the river's proximity to various volcanic-tectonic processes, it has a complex geological environment, as seen by its diversified lithology and structural framework. The river's exposed bedrock has mild slopes on both sides. The Dawa river flows south-east, forming part of the Ethiopia-Somalia and Ethiopia-Kenya borders. The only notable off-flowing rivers to Dawa are the Awata, Digati, and Mormora.

A number of seasonal rivers and streams pour into the Dawa River, which is home to thousands of animals and plants. The riverine forest's largest trees are found along the Dawa River's lower reaches. The riverbank is mostly covered in Ficus capreaefolia shrubs, whereas the wachile plain is mostly covered in bushes and thickets. During the long dry season, most fauna is rare, resulting in plentiful and noticeable plants such as Acokanthera schimperi, Dobera glabra, Euclea racemosa schimperi, and Salvadora persica. As a result of the crops being too dry to grow over the extended dry season, the Borena people have developed talents in raising cattle and sheep.
