Irrawaddy River

The Irrawaddy River is the principal river of Myanmar, running through the centre of the country, and is approximately 1,350 miles long. It originates from the confluence of the N'mai and Mali rivers in Kachin State and flows from north to south before emptying into the Andaman Sea through the Irrawaddy Delta. The river's drainage basin covers 61% of the land area of Myanmar and contains five of its largest cities. The Irrawaddy has been used for trade and transport since the sixth century and remains an important commercial waterway and source of ecosystem services for agriculture, fisheries, and tourism.learn more on wikipedia
