River Barrow

In Ireland, there is River Barrow (Irish: An Bhear). It is one of The Three Sisters, with the River Suir and the River Nore being the other two. The Barrow is the longest of the three rivers, with a length of 192 kilometers (120 miles), making it Ireland's second-largest river after the Shannon.

The River Barrow has a catchment area of 3,067 km2 before the River Nore joins it a little over 20 kilometers before its mouth. Before being joined by River Nore, the river's long-term average flow rate was 37.4 cubic metres per second. It has a catchment area of almost 5,500 km2 and a discharge of around 80 m3/s when it merges with the River Suir.

Glenbarrow, in the Slieve Bloom Mountains of County Laois, is the source of the River Barrow. Portarlington, Monasterevin, Athy, Carlow/Graiguecullen, Muine Bheag (Bagenalstown), Goresbridge, Graiguenamanagh, and New Ross are among the places that the River Barrow flows through on its route to the sea beyond Waterford. The river creates a natural boundary between counties Kilkenny and Waterford on the right bank and Carlow and Wexford on the left bank. It is considered one of the longest rivers in Ireland.
