Editing Liri (section)

== Source and route ==
The Liri's source is in the [[Monte Camiciola]], elevation {{convert|1,701|m|ft}}, in the [[Monti Simbruini]] of central [[Apennine Mountains|Apennines]] ([[Abruzzo]], ''[[comune]]'' of [[Cappadocia (Italy)|Cappadocia]]). It flows at first in a southeasterly direction through a long trough-like valley, parallel to the general direction of the Apennines, until it reaches the city of [[Sora, Italy|Sora]].{{sfn|Bunbury|1857|p=196}}

In the upper part of [[Isola del Liri]] it receives the waters of [[Fibreno]] and then it divides into two branches which then rejoin, surrounding the lower part of the town (''Isola del Liri'' stands for ''Liri Island''). One branch makes a {{convert|28|m|ft|adj=on}} high waterfall situated in the centre, a unique case in Europe.

A dam is built on the river after the confluence with the [[Sacco (river)|Sacco]] at [[Ceprano]]. The last important Liri's tributary is the [[Melfa]], with which it joins near [[Aquino, Italy|Aquino]]. After [[Cassino]] it receives the waters of the [[Gari (river)|Gari]], and afterwards it is known as [[Garigliano]].

The Liri-Garigliano system has a total water [[drainage basin]] of {{convert|5020|km2|mi2}}.
