The Jubba River is a significant waterway in southeastern Somalia. It originates in the Ethiopian highlands and flows southward, eventually emptying into the Indian Ocean. The river is approximately 1,000 kilometers long and plays a crucial role in the region's ecology and agriculture, providing water for irrigation and supporting local wildlife. The river's basin is home to various communities that rely on its resources for fishing and farming. The Jubba River also faces challenges such as seasonal flooding and environmental degradation, which impact both the ecosystem and the livelihoods of the people living along its banks.
