The Coporolo is an intermittent river in Angola. It flows through Dombe Grande in Benguela Province. It has sometimes been considered a permanent stream.[1] Its mouth is at the Atlantic Ocean and the drainage area is 15674km2.
Seasonal flooding is a recurring problem with 6,700 people displaced in a flood in July 2011.[2] Work to control seasonal flooding to protect the town and farms was to be done the following year.
