Three Rivers cross the Country from East to West:  Senegal River (1700 km) in the North, The Gambia River (750 km) and the Casamance River (300 km) in the South (called Cacheu in the map below). There is also the Saloum River who rises about 105 kilometers east of Kaolack, and flows into the Atlantic Ocean.
