Mouth of the Mota Claran

The Mota Claran ( German  Claran river , also Mota Klaran ) is a mostly dry river in the municipality of East Timorese Dili .

In the rainy season from late November to April, it is formed by the confluence of the Benamauc and Bemori rivers. The Benamauc rises in Suco Becora , crosses the Suco Camea on its way north and then forms the border between Becora and Bidau Santana . The Bemori rises in Suco Lahane Oriental and then follows the border with Becora in the east and Lahane Oriental and Culu Hun in the west. Where the sucos Culu Hun, Becora and Bidau Santana meet, the rivers unite to form the Mota Claran, which then flows through Bidau Santana and finally flows into the Bay of Dili . The estuary divides the river with the Mota Bidau , which flows west of the Mota Claran. Shortly before the estuary, the Ponte BJ Habibie bridge, inaugurated in 2019, spans the Mota Claran.
