Overview

The town is situated near the coast. A confluence of the Haddas, Aligide and Comaile River's runs through the district. During the 1960s, there was significant agricultural development on the district's alluvial plains. [1]

The Haddas River is a seasonal river in Eritrea. Outside of the small town of Foro in the central part of the nation, the watercourse merges with the Comaile and Aligide rivers. The combined river flows south of Massawa, emptying into the Red Sea. Silt carried down in the river has led to the burial of the ancient town of Adulis.

The Aligide River is a watercourse in Eritrea. It has its source a short distance outside of the national capital, Asmara. The river flows down the Eastern Escarpment of Eritrea until the small town of Foro near the Red Sea coast. At this point, the Aligide merges with two other rivers, the Comaile River and the Haddas River. It continues from there until it empties into the Red Sea. This place is where people who are interested in Aligide River come together and discuss about Aligide River.

The Comaile River has its source between the towns of Adi Keyh and Senafe. It flows down the Eastern Escarpment of Eritrea until the small town of Foro near the Red Sea coast. At this point it merges with two other rivers, the Aligide River and the Haddas River. From this point it continues until it empties into the Red Sea.

Geographic coordinate system Coordinate system

A geographic coordinate system is a coordinate system that enables every location on Earth to be specified by a set of numbers, letters or symbols. The coordinates are often chosen such that one of the numbers represents a vertical position and two or three of the numbers represent a horizontal position; alternatively, a geographic position may be expressed in a combined three-dimensional Cartesian vector. A common choice of coordinates is latitude, longitude and elevation. To specify a location on a plane requires a map projection.
