Dinder River
Dinder River, tributary of the Blue Nile, rising in the Ethiopian highlands west of Lake Tana. It flows northwest past Dongur, descends into the Sudanese plain, and runs in numerous meanders to join the Blue Nile below Sannār, Sudan. The river, 300 miles (480 km) long, is navigable for the lower one-third of its course during the flood season (June–September). Its middle course in Sudan flows through Dinder National Park.
