Magdalena River
The Magdalena River ((スペイン語:Río Magdalena), (:ˈri.o maɣðaˈlena); Less commonly ''Rio Grande de la Magdalena'') is the principal river of Colombia, flowing northward about through the western half of the country. It takes its name from the biblical figure Mary Magdalene. It is navigable through much of its lower reaches, in spite of the shifting sand bars at the mouth of its delta, as far as Honda, at the downstream base of its rapids. It flows through the Magdalena River Valley.
Its drainage basin covers a surface of 27.3 million hectares (105,000 sq mi), which is 24% of the country's area and where 66% of its population lives. Also 86% of Colombia's gross domestic product is generated there.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=NUESTRO RIO )〕
