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 longest river in Ireland is the River Shannon, at 360.5 kilometres (224.0 mi). The river develops into three lakes along its course, Lough Allen, Lough Ree and ...
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 ...
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 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.
It is one of The Three Sisters; the other two being the River Suir and the River Nore. 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]
In particular, there seems to exist disagreement as to whether the Nile [3] or the Amazon [4] is the world's longest river. The Nile has traditionally been considered longer, but in 2007 and 2008 some scientists claimed that the Amazon is longer [5] [6] [7] by measuring the river plus the adjacent Pará estuary and the longest connecting tidal ...
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 River Bann (from Irish: An Bhanna, meaning "the goddess"; [1] Ulster-Scots: Bann Wattèr [2]) is the longest river in Northern Ireland, its length, Upper and Lower Bann combined, being 129 km (80 mi). However, the total length of the River Bann, including its path through the 30 km (19 mi) long Lough Neagh is 159 km (99 mi).
