Fish River (Q1143836)

Summary from English Wikipedia (enwiki)

The Fish River (Visrivier in Afrikaans, Fischfluss in German) is a river in Namibia. It is 650 km long, flowing from the Naukluft Mountains 150 km to the Hardap Dam near Mariental. From there the flow is entirely blocked, all further flow downstream coming from tributaries downstream from the dam. The flow of the river is seasonal; in winter the river can dry up completely. Despite this, the river is the site of the spectacular Fish River Canyon, a canyon 160 km long, and at points as much as 550 m deep.

Summary from Nederlands / Dutch Wikipedia (nlwiki)

De Visrivier is een onbevaarbare rivier in Namibië. De lengte ervan is 650 km, waarmee het de langste rivier in Namibië is. Het stroomgebied heeft een oppervlakte van ruim 54.000 km². De oorsprong ligt in het oosten van het Naukluftgebergte vanwaar het 150 km is tot de Hardapdam bij Mariental. Daar wordt de waterstroom volledig geblokkeerd, het water dat verder stroomafwaarts gaat is afkomstig van zijrivieren beneden de dam. Een tweede dam, de Neckartal-dam op 40 km ten westen van Keetmanshoop, is gebouwd tussen 2014 en 2018.

Summary from Български език / Bulgarian Wikipedia (bgwiki)

Фиш , на езика нама Oub, Оуб , (на африкаанс: Visrivier, Висривиер; на немски: Fischfluss, Фишфлус) е река в Намибия. Дължината ѝ е 650 km, като по протежението си в близост до град Мариентал е преградена от стена като така се образува язовир Хардап. Дебитът на водата е със сезонно влияние. През сухия сезон тя дори пресъхва напълно. По протежетнието на реката се е образувал величествен каньон наречен Каньон на Фиш, който е втори по големина на планетата. Каньона е дълъг 160 km, а на места дълбочината му е 550 m. Реката е приток на Оранжева река и се влива в нея на границата с ЮАР на около 100 km от атлантическото крайбрежие.
