    The principal river system is the Bann, with its tributaries, the Moyola, Ballinderry, Blackwater, Six Mile Water, and Main. The Newry river system drains into Carlingford Lough. Lough Neagh, located in the centre of the district, is the main lake, with other smaller ones including Lough Fea, Portmore, Ross and Beg. This district has a limited coastline to the north, where the River Bann enters the Atlantic, and to the south where the Newry system enters Carlingford Lough.

    The interactive web map allows the quality of the water bodies to be viewed for each RBD.
