The Kodori, also known as Kodor, (Abkhaz: Кәыдры, Kwydry; Georgian: კოდორი, Kodori) is one of the two largest rivers of Abkhazia, along with the Bzyb. It is formed by the joining of the rivers Sak'en and Gwandra. The Kodori is first among Abkhazia's rivers with respect to average annual discharge (144 m3/s (5,100 cu ft/s)) and drainage basin area (2,051 km2 (792 sq mi)), and second after the Bzyb with respect to length (105 km (65 mi), combined with the Sak'en).
Famous quotes containing the word river:
“Naught was familiar but the heavens, from under whose roof the voyageur never passes; but with their countenance, and the acquaintance we had with river and wood, we trusted to fare well under any circumstances.”
