It flows northwards to the mountainous western portion of Jamindan, then northeastward to the town of Libacao in Aklan province. The river traverses the municipalities of Madalag, Malinao, Banga, Lezo, Numancia, and Kalibo before emptying to its mouth into Sibuyan Sea. The name of the river is where the term Aklan came from, and is derived from the word ''akae'', which means to boil or to froth. Because of the swiftness of the river current, the water of the Aklan river seems to boil or froth. ''Akean'' therefore means "where there is boiling or frothing". The two major tributaries of the river are the Timbaban River ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

A drainage basin is an area of land where all flowing surface water converges to a single point, such as a river mouth, or flows into another body of water, such as a lake or ocean.

A basin may consist of smaller basins that merge at river confluences, forming a hierarchical pattern. Other terms for a drainage basin are catchment area, catchment basin, drainage area, river basin, water basin, and impluvium.
