    The principal river systems are the Lagan, Bush and Quoile as well as the smaller systems draining from the Glens of Antrim, and the County Down coastline.  The NE RBD has an extensive coastline including Larne, Belfast and Strangford Loughs, with Lough Mourne, Clea Lakes and Silent Valley the main lakes.
