The Gidabo River is a significant waterway located in the southern part of Ethiopia. It flows through the Gidabo Valley, contributing to the region's agriculture and supporting local ecosystems. The river is known for its seasonal variations, with higher water levels during the rainy season. The Gidabo River eventually joins the Omo River, which is one of the major rivers in Ethiopia. This connection plays a crucial role in the hydrology of the area, influencing both the landscape and the livelihoods of communities that depend on its waters for farming and fishing.
