The Tulang Bawang River (Lampungnese: Way Tulang Bawang) is a river which mostly flows in Lampung, Indonesia.[3] The river lends its name to the Tulang Bawang Regency, where it reaches the Java Sea and the West Tulang Bawang Regency. It also flows across the capital of the regency at Menggala.[4]
One of the largest rivers in the province, it is primarily utilized by locals as a source of irrigation with little use as a waterway.[5]
