Characteristics

Lim belongs to the Black Sea drainage basin through Drina, Sava and Danube. Its drainage basin covers 5,963 km2 (2,302 sq mi) and the river is not navigable.

It receives many smaller streams in Montenegro and Bosnia and Herzegovina, however, the two most important are its major right tributaries in Serbia, the Uvac and the Mileševa river.

Though today is generally considered that the river's name is derived from Latin word limes, which means border, it might originated from the Celtic root llyn or llym, meaning drink or water.
