course

The Gilo gets its water from the Ethiopian highlands. It arises from the confluence of the two source rivers Godare and Beko, which unite in the Gambela region . The Gilo flows in a north-west-west direction. It flows into the Pibor on the border with South Sudan , about 40 km before it joins the Baro to form Sobat .

Hydrometry

The flow rate of the river was measured for 26 years (1967–1993) at the Pugnido gauge in m³ / s.
