The rivers play a very important part in the economy of Borneo, both as highways and as
lines along which run the main arteries of population. Hydrographically the island may be
divided into five principal versants. Of these the shortest embraces the north-western slope,
north of the Kapuas range, and discharges its waters into the China Sea.
