Opak River
Opak River as viewed from Jetis, Bantul
Opak River is a river that flows from its source on the slopes of Mount Merapi in the north, heading southward and passes the west side of 9th-century Prambanan temple compound, located to the east of Yogyakarta and west of Kota Gede.
It also passes the historical locations of Plered, Karta, and Imogiri before draining into the Indian Ocean in the southern part of Bantul.
The river runs upon Opak tectonic fault, a major tectonic fault in southern Central Java responsible for major earthquakes in the region..
The river basin that it lies in is significant as the aquifer is in a heavily populated part of Java [1]
