Editing Palermo (section)

=== Rivers ===

Today both the [[Papireto]] river and the [[cemonia|Kemonia]] are covered up by buildings. However, the shape of the former watercourses can still be recognised today, because the streets that were built on them follow their shapes. Today the only waterway not drained yet is the Oreto river that divides the downtown of the city from the western uptown and the industrial districts. In the basins there were, though, many seasonal torrents that helped formed swampy plains, reclaimed during history; a good example of which can be found in the borough of [[Mondello]].
