The Telaga Waja is a river which is situated in eastern Bali, Indonesia.[1] It rises on the slope of Mount Abang and passes through towns and wilderness slopes along the region of Rendang Village, reaching the sea in Klungkung Regency.[2][3]
The Telaga Waja River is mainly located in the District of Rendang, Karangasem Regency, the eastern part of Bali, the second in length after the Ayung River.[4] The water comes from several springs in the mountains near Mount Agung, the highest mountain in Bali, and is considered holy by Hindu native people, such as Lipang, Arca, and Telaga Waja springs. Also, numerous smaller fountains flow into Telaga Waja, like the Yeh Sah River that sprung out of natural springs.[4] The combination of tributaries and springs contributes to a high water discharge, which is used by the local government for drinking water supply.[4] Tourist attractions along the river are very popular, in particular, rafting.[4][5]
