The Leewasser is a 3 kilometer long river in the Schwyz municipality of Ingenbohl in Switzerland .

It rises in a eingedolten source at dock Studen just off the A4 north of the village Ingenbohl and drains the southeastern part of the field soil, flat Schwemmgebiets the Muota below the Fronalpstock at the output of Muotatals . The springs are fed on the one hand by groundwater outcrops from the massive gravel deposits in the Muota delta and on the other hand by seepage water from the mountain slopes. The Klosterbach is a major tributary. As a flowing water in a wide plain, the stream has only a slight gradient. The leewater does not flow into the nearby Muota, but southeast of its confluence with Lake Lucerne in the basin of Föhnhafen 2 from Brunnen itself into the lake.

The first mentioned in 1550 Waters name of the river is derived from the concept of assigned in feud ratio of water use rights , and indeed probably in this case with respect to the fisheries in the waters.

The topography of the plain below the Ingenbohl Monastery, which is rich in springs and small bodies of water , also led to the choice of the place name of the village of Brunnen, first mentioned in 1217 , whose core zone lies on the leeward.

The Leewasser supplied the drinking and service water for the houses of Brunnen and in the 19th century also for the first large hotels on the lake, until the municipality of Ingenbohl, to which the previously independent village of Brunnen had joined in 1888, a modern one in 1889 Drinking water supply established.

Along with the Muota the Leewasser is an important part of the habitat of Muota- lake trout .
