In which country is Reprua, one of the shortest named rivers in the world located?
The Reprua is a river in the Gagra District of Abkhazia, Georgia. Only 27 m (89 ft) long, it is one of the shortest named rivers in the world.
Sources of the river are the springs in karst Krubera Cave. The Reprua flows into the Black Sea, in the southwestern outskirts of Gagra.
The mountain rivers of Abkhazia may well compete with others for the title of the coldest waters of the world. Cold water in the Reprua River can be compared with spring water both in temperature and purity.
The name Reprua means “play of fresh water on the sea surface”.

Why are they talking about shortest named river. Wouldn’t it be shortest river?

Chris Braid, no I can think of several shorter names the exe, Wye, soar, nene, ouse, and they are just in UK. Then theres the Nile, the Rhine, Rhone, Volga, and that's just a few all shorter than Reprua. Really poor question.

Thanks majority. I was completely confused by the question and didn't think that Reprua was a particularly short name for a river!

I was thinking that the question meant the river with the shortest name, so I went for Majority Vote and got it right. Thanks
