La Ngà River

The La Ngà River (Vietnamese: Sông La Ngà) is a river of southern Vietnam. It originates in Lâm Đồng Province and flows through Bình Thuận Province and Đồng Nai Province for 272 kilometres. The river has a basin area of 4710 km².[1] It is a major tributary of Đồng Nai River, which it joins at Trị An Lake, and therefore part of one of the largest river systems in Vietnam.[2] One of its tributaries in Bình Thuận Province supports a hydro-power plant, the Hàm Thuận – Đa Mi Hydroelectric Power Complex.[3]
