Table 1 shows the longest rivers in Ireland with their lengths (in kilometres and miles), the counties they flow through, and their catchment areas (in square kilometres). Table 2 shows the largest rivers in Ireland (by mean flow) in cubic metres per second. Some of the larger or better-known rivers of Ireland are shown on this map (large version).
The major rivers have their length (in miles and kilometres) given. Also shown are two tables. Table 1 shows the longest rivers in Ireland with their lengths (in miles and kilometres), the counties they flow through, and their catchment areas (in km 2). Table 2 shows the largest rivers in Ireland (by mean flow) in cubic meters per second. Some ...
The Shannon River Basin consists of the area containing Ireland's longest river, the River Shannon, and all of its tributaries and lakes.The official Ordnance Survey Ireland length of the Shannon from its Shannon Pot source is 224 miles (360 km) made up of 63.5 miles (102.2 km) tidal water flow and 160.5 miles (258.3 km) freshwater flow.
At a total length of 360.5 km (224 miles), it is the longest river in Ireland. [13] That the Shannon is the longest river in the British Isles was evidently known in the 12th century, although a map of the time showed this river as flowing out of the south of Ireland. [3]
The River Shannon, at 360.5 kilometres (224.0 mi) in length, is the longest river in Ireland and Britain. With a drainage area of 16,865 km 2 (6,512 sq mi), [28] the Shannon River Basin covers one-fifth of the island. The Shannon crosses 11 counties and divides the west of Ireland from the south and east.
The Clare is the longest river in the Lough Corrib catchment. [citation needed] A large section of it is a former turlough (Irish: turlach), which, at 6.5 square kilometres, used to be Ireland's largest. [citation needed] The Clare has since the 1950s been subject to ongoing arterial drainage to lower the bed of the river and mitigate flooding ...
The Barrow is the longest of the three rivers and, at 192 km (120 mi), the second-longest river in Ireland, behind the River Shannon. The catchment area of the River Barrow is 3,067 km 2 before the River Nore joins it a little over 20 km before its mouth. [ 2 ]
The border of Europe and Asia is here defined as from the Kara Sea, along the Ural Mountains and Ural River to the Caspian Sea.While the crest of the Caucasus Mountains is the geographical border with Asia in the south, Georgia, and to a lesser extent Armenia and Azerbaijan, are politically and culturally often associated with Europe; rivers in these countries are therefore included.
