Geography
Tua River has several tributaries, in particular Erave River, which in turn has Iaro River as its own tributary.[2] The Waghi River is also a major tributary, which rises in Jiwaka Province and flows through the expansive Waghi Valley.
History
During the formation of the volcanoes of Soaru Range and Mount Karimui, the river's course was temporarily blocked, which caused the formation of a short-lived lake.[3]
