Masiwang River

Masiwang River is a river of eastern Seram Island, Indonesia. The Masiwang River flows through a wide valley, and is typically shallow, with a significant amount of sediment load.[1] It flows into the sea on the southeast coast of Seram, between Tanjung Tioli, the eastern point of Waru Bay, and Tanjung Masiwang, forming a delta.[2] The Masiwang and Seti languages are spoken in the vicinity.[3]
