The Babak River is a river that flows in the island of Lombok, in West Nusa Tenggara, Indonesia.
Course
It originates at Mount Timanuk in East Lombok Regency, with a source elevation of 2,575 meters. It flows in a southwesterly direction, with a parallel drainage pattern, reaching the Lombok Strait at the district of Labuapi, West Lombok Regency. The length of the river's main course is around 55 km.[1]
Watershed
The watershed of the river covers an area of 259 km2.[1] Due to the highly seasonal flow of the river, which overflows during monsoon season and dries up during the dry seasons, it is considered a "critical watershed".[2] Since 2007, efforts have been made by local communities to restore forests in the river's basin, reducing the impact of erosion and flooding.[3]
