quote:

The Incomáti River flows from South Africa and enters Mozambican territory through Ressano Garcia administrative post, Moamba District, and passes through the villages of Xinavane, Magude, Manhiça, up to Marracuene where it enters into the Indian Ocean through Maputo Bay.

There is a stream of great importance, the Sabi, and it has high quantity of irrigation water for the farms through the dame of Corrumane. There are other streams of less importance such as Mozimchope, Vanetse and Bobole.

This river is one of the longest rivers in the southern region of Mozambique. It has an area of about 49 100 km2, from which 31 160 km2, corresponding to about 64% total area that lies within the South African territory; about 15 360 km2, corresponding to 31%, total area that lies in Mozambican territory; and the remaining 2 560 km2 which corresponds to 5%, lies in Swaziland territory (DNA- Consultec 1998).
