Siak River
The Siak is a river of Riau province, in the east of Sumatra, Indonesia, about 1000 km northwest of the capital Jakarta. Approximately 370 kilometres in length, the Siak is a blackwater river which owes its brown color to dissolved organic matter leached from surrounding, heavily disturbed peat soils; it is heavily polluted, notably by the petroleum industry.| Tap on a place to explore it |
