Sisan River

The Sisan River, also referred to in some sources as the Sisa River or Susan River, is an urban river in Kumasi, the capital of the Ashanti Region of Ghana. It forms part of the drainage network of the Kumasi Metropolitan Area and passes through densely developed residential, commercial and industrial areas. A disaster-risk profile prepared for UNDP Ghana describes the river as taking its source from Kenyase in the Ejisu-Juaben area before entering Kumasi from Duase and Sepe Timpon, then flowing southwards through the industrial areas of Asokwa, Ahensan and Kaase. The river is one of the four main drainage basins of Kumasi, together with the Subin, Aboabo and Wiwi basins. It is significant in the urban hydrology of Kumasi because it receives tributary flows from other urban streams, supports parts of the city's drainage system and has been associated with flooding, water pollution, industrial activity, urban agriculture and public-health risk.

Flows through: Ghana.
