Ngiri River
The Ngiri River (or Giri River) is a tributary of the Ubangi River that flows southward through the Sud-Ubangi District of Province of Équateur, Équateur province, Democratic Republic of the Congo. The Ngiri originates near the town of Kungu in Kungu Territory.

There are no official definitions for the generic term river as applied to Geographical feature, geographic features, although in some countries or communities a stream is defined by its size.
