Quick Summary

The Abary River is a river located in eastern Guyana, flowing into the Atlantic Ocean. It is one of several shorter rivers along Guyana's coast, alongside the Pomeroon, Mahaica, and Mahaicony rivers. These rivers are part of the watershed systems of the Amazon and Orinoco rivers. The Abary River's drainage is characterized by a low gradient, leading to swamps and flooding, and its mouth is obstructed by mud and sandbars, limiting its suitability for long-distance transportation. The Berbice River, a larger neighbor, flows for 370 miles and enters the Atlantic at New Amsterdam.12
