Germama River
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Germama (or Kasam) River is a tributary of the Awash River in Ethiopia. The name Germama comes from the Amharic word which means "frockling", "boisterous", or "frisky".[1]
The Germama is not a navigatable stream, and flows with a great volume during the rainy season. It rises west of Kese Koremash, flowing east to the Awash, its course delineating a few kilometers of the northern boundary of the Awash National Park. The lowlands of the upper Germama was the location of the former Shewan district of Bulga;[2] the lower course defines the northern boundary of the Shewan district of Menjar.
