List of rivers in Swaziland

The rivers and their catchment areas in Swaziland

This is a list of the rivers in Swaziland . Hydrologically, the Kingdom of Swaziland is divided into four catchment areas. All of its precipitation drains through this to the east into the Maputo Bay . The north, with 2500 km² and 14% of the land area, flows over the Komati , which grazes the country. The headwaters and tributaries of the Umbeluzi with over 10% of the area arise in the middle and east . The entire south drains into the Maputo , whose catchment area makes up around 12,000 km², 69% of the country's area. In the far east there is a small part that drains over the Tembe .
