The river is approximately 150 kilometers long and plays a crucial role in the local ecosystem and economy. Historically, the Pegu River has been important for trade and transportation. It connects various towns and cities, including Bago, which is situated near its banks. The river also supports agriculture in the region, providing irrigation for crops and serving as a source of fish for local communities.
