Nke River

The Nke River is a minor river located in Enugu State, Nigeria. It is primarily known for its role as a source of water for local communities and agricultural activities in the surrounding Nkanu East Local Government Area. The river flows generally southwest, eventually contributing to a larger river system within the region.

The Nke River's water quality is subject to variations depending on the season and human activities such as farming and potential wastewater discharge. Efforts to protect and manage the river's resources are often undertaken at the local community level.

While not a major waterway on a national scale, the Nke River holds local significance, serving as a resource for domestic use, irrigation, and potentially fishing for the communities situated along its banks. Detailed scientific studies of the river's hydrology, biodiversity, and pollution levels may be limited but localized knowledge is essential for its sustainable use. Further research is needed to fully assess its environmental status and long-term viability.
