Kabalebo River

Kabalebo River is a river in Suriname. It joins with the Courantyne River near Apoera. A plan for a dam in the river serving a hydroelectric power plant is part of the West Suriname Plan of the 1960s.[1] As of 2020, nothing has happened. The river is home to major waterfalls like the Wonotobo, Stanley, and Frederik Willem IV falls.[2] Petrogylphs had been discovered on a rock by Ten Kate in 1886.[3]
