Rima River is a river in the northern part of
Nigeria. At its northernmost point it is joined by the
Goulbi de Maradi river. It runs southwest and joins the
Sokoto River near
Sokoto, then continues south to the
Niger River. The upper Rima is a seasonal river and flows only during the rainy season. The
Zauro polder project, a major irrigation scheme, has been planned for many years. It would irrigate of farmland in the Rima floodplain between Argungu and Birnin Kebbi.
