The Temburong River (Malay: Sungai Temburong) is a river in Brunei.[1] It is the second smallest of the four main rivers in the country and drains a catchment area of around 840 square kilometres. Temburong District, through which it flows, is one of the four districts of Brunei. It lies in the east and is sparsely populated.[2]
