Digul River when calm. Passenger and cargo ships that are navigating the Digul river around Bade City, Edera District, Mappi Regency, Papua Province. The Digul River is the largest river in the southern region of Papua, the economic artery due to the traffic going back and forth to ships carrying goods needed by residents in the southern region of Papua. The Digul River also has its own story about the head of the current, which is when the tide goes into the Digul river and it occurs during the full moon. This tidal wave can reach a height of 12 meters and will submerge anything encountered, and ships of this size can also be sunk by the blows of the current head. -Jp / Nethy Dharma Somba / Adi / 19
