River course
The Puttuaalu Brook forms the drain of a nameless lake about 320 m high. It initially flows for 20 km in a predominantly easterly direction and then turns to the northeast. There is a 4 km long lake on the upper reaches. At river kilometer 21, the river touches the 4.7 km² Puttuaalu Lake ( ⊙ ) on the right bank of the river . The river has numerous bends over the last 10 kilometers . Finally, the Puttuaalu Brook flows into the approximately 20 m high 23.3 km² Tasiuyak Tasialua Lake ( ⊙ ). The lake is drained via Laura Lake ( ⊙ ), Frank Lake ( ⊙ ) and an unnamed lake to Tasiuyak Bay ( ⊙ ). The entire river system has a catchment area of 1471 km². Including the downstream section of the river to the sea, the total length is about 78 km.
