Coporolo (Angola)
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 15,674 square kilometres (6,052 sq mi).[2]
Seasonal flooding is a recurring problem with 6,700 people displaced in a flood in July 2011.[3] Work to control seasonal flooding to protect the town and farms was to be done by Odebrecht.[4]
