The Ghimbav River is a tributary of the Dâmboviţa River in Romania. It is formed at the confluence of two headwaters Cumpărata Mare and Cumpărata Mică
A tributary or affluent is a stream or river that flows into a larger stream or main stem river or a lake. A tributary does not flow directly into a sea or ocean. Tributaries and the main stem river drain the surrounding drainage basin of its surface water and groundwater, leading the water out into an ocean.
