Orashi River (also Urashi or Ulasi),[1] is a river of the lower Niger River basin, and a tributary of Oguta Lake, southeastern Nigeria.[1][3][4] Urashi takes off, 183 m above mean sea level, from the rocks in Ezeama community of Dikenafai, Imo State.[1][4][5][6] Described as a lifeline to Ideato South communities, Orashi stream serves as an all purpose river for drinking, washing and many others to communities such as Umulewe, Umuchima and Ntueke in the area.[7]
