Sarawak River

Sarawak River (Malay: Sungai Sarawak) is located in Kuching, the capital city of Sarawak, Malaysia. It serves as a primary water source for both domestic and industrial use in Kuching and the surrounding areas. The river also plays an essential role in navigation, connecting several city landmarks via river taxis. Additionally, it supports tourism and cultural heritage through water-based activities such as the Sarawak Regatta. During the rainy season, the Sarawak River contributes to flood management through the operation of the Kuching Barrage and Shiplock, while also functioning as a drainage channel, collecting stormwater and wastewater before discharging into the South China Sea.
