The Sundays River or Nukakamma ((アフリカーンス語:Sondagsrivier)) is a river in the Eastern Cape Province of South Africa. It is said to be the fastest flowing river in the country. The Khoisan people originally named this river ''Nukakamma'' (Grassy Water) because the river's banks are always green and grassy despite the arid terrain that it runs through. Presently this river is part of the Fish to Tsitsikama Water Management Area. ==Course== The source of the long Sundays River is in the Sneeuberge (the highest mountain range in the former Cape Province) near Nieu-Bethesda. The river then flows in a general South/Southeasterly direction, passing the town Graaff-Reinet in the Karoo before winding its way through the Zuurberg Mountains and then past Kirkwood and Addo in the fertile Sundays River Valley.〔(Fish to Tsitsikamma WMA 15 )〕 It empties into the Indian Ocean at Algoa Bay after running through the village of Colchester, 40 km east of the city of Port Elizabeth.〔(Sondagsrivier, Eastern Cape, South Africa )〕 ;Dams * Darlington Dam * Nqweba Dam 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Sundays River」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
