Krông Nô district
District in Central Highlands, Vietnam
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Krông Nô is a former rural district of Đắk Nông province in the Central Highlands region of Vietnam.
History
Its name Krông-nô means "the river of the father" in Mnong language.[1] It is named after the largest river flowing through the rural district: Eă Krông-knô (the falls of the father river), Daàk Krông-knô (the stream of the father river).
The total basin area of the river is 3,934 km2, with a length of up to 160 km.[2] The reason it is called like that is because from the top of the Cư-yàng-sin Mountain, there are two rivers—Krông-knô (father river) and Krông-ana (mother river). The two then continued to enter another river, Krông-srêpốk (son river).[3]
