The Bodri River is a river in Kendal Regency, northern Central Java, Indonesia.[6] [7] The Bodri River flows from the south to north into the Java Sea.
The river flows along the central north area of Java with a predominantly tropical monsoon climate. The annual average temperature in the area is 25 °C. The warmest month is October when the average temperature is around 28 °C, and the coldest is January, at 24 °C.[8] The average annual rainfall is 3459 mm. The wettest month is January, with an average of 713 mm of rainfall, and the driest is September, with 33 mm of rainfall.[9]
The Bodri River rises in the North Serayu Mountains from Mount Sundoro (3,150 m) at the village of Canggal, Candiroto District, Temanggung Regency. It also receives streams from the north slope of Mount Prahu (2,590 m) at Dieng Plateau, Mount Beser (1,036 m), Mount Kepiting (1,169 m), and also from Mount Ungaran (2,050 m) in Semarang Regency. The upstream in Temanggung Regency is called the "Lutut River" (Sungai Lutut). The river discharges into the Java Sea.
The river flows through two regencies: Temanggung Regency at the upstream and Kendal Regency in the middle and the downstream. In Temanggung Regency, this river traverses the districts of Candiroto, Bejen, and Gemawang. In Kendal Regency, it crosses the districts of Singorojo, Patean, Pegandon, Gemuh, Cepiring, and Patebon. The basin size (Indonesian: Daerah aliran sungai or "DAS") of Bodri until the river mouth is about 653km2, divided into 5 sub-DAS: Sub-DAS Lutut, Sub-DAS Logung, Sub-DAS Putih, Sub-DAS Blorong and Sub-DAS Bodri Hilir, comprising 4 regencies: Temanggung Regency (4 districts), Kendal Regency (12 districts), Semarang Regency (1 district) and 2 districts in the City of Semarang.[10]
Some main tributaries of the Bodri River are:
The inhabitants along the Bodri River use the water for fisheries, either by traditional fishing or with nets. The high discharge of the river is also used for irrigation passing some dams, such as Juwero Dam at the border of Wonosari village, Pegandon District, with Triharjo village, Gemuh District, Kendal Regency.[11] In the river mouth area it has a port for the fishermen in the north coast with a fish auction place. There is a tourist attraction "Curug Guwung" at the upstream of the Bodri River, at the Gunungpayung village, Candiroto District, Temanggung Regency[12]
