List of rivers in Ethiopia

Ethiopia topographically with the most important rivers

This is a list of the rivers in Ethiopia . Ethiopia is hydrologically dominated by the Nile . The Blue Nile, which flows from Lake Tana, donates 80% of the water of the Nile at its mouth. The source rivers of the Sobat, which flows into the White Nile, represent another large inflow of the Nile (about 10%). Ethiopia is not the source of the Nile, but it is the source of most of the water that eventually flows through it into the Mediterranean .

Moreover, the spring grave breach following endorhëischen Rivers Awash and Omo in the East African state. And finally the headwaters of the Juba, which drain on the other side of the rift valley towards the Indian Ocean .
