The
River
Dodder
(Irish:
An
Dothra)
is
one
of
the
three
main
rivers
in
Dublin,
Ireland,
the
others
being
the
Liffey,
of
which
the
Dodder
is
the
largest
tributary,
and
the
Tolka.
The
Dodder
rises
on
the
northern
slopes
of
Kippure
in
the
Wicklow
Mountains
and
is
formed
from
several
streams.
The
headwaters
flow
from
Kippure
Ridge,
and
include,
and
are
often
mapped
solely
as,
Tromanallison
(Allison's
Brook),
which
is
then
joined
by
Mareen's
Brook,
including
the
Cataract
of
the
Brown
Rowan,
and
then
the
combined
flow
meeting
the
Cot
and
Slade
Brooks.
In
the
river's
valley
at
Glenasmole
are
the
two
Bohernabreena
Reservoirs,
a
major
part
of
the
Dublin
water
supply
system.
The
Dodder
is
26
kilometres
(16
mi)
long.
It
passes
the
Dublin
suburbs
of
Tallaght
and
then
Firhouse,
travels
by
Templeogue,
passes
Rathfarnham,
Rathgar,
Milltown,
Clonskeagh,
and
Donnybrook,
and
goes
through
Ballsbridge
and
past
Sandymount,
before
entering
the
Liffey
near
Ringsend,
along
with
the
Grand
Canal,
at
Grand
Canal
Dock.
There
is
a
weir
just
above
the
bridge
at
Ballsbridge
and
the
river
becomes
tidal
roughly
where
the
bridge
at
Lansdowne
Road
crosses
it.
The
Dodder
and
the
River
Tolka
are
Dublin's
second-largest
rivers,
after
the
Liffey.
There
is
an
abundance
of
flora
and
fauna
at
the
river.
