Sitnica is one of the five rivers of Podgorica.

Lješnica is one of manz small rivers in the area ofBijelo Polje, which flows into the Lim river.

Bistrica is a river that flows south-western Serbia, and continues its journey through  Montenegro enjoying  the Lim as its right tributary. IBistrica length is 26 km. Bistrica is very rich in fish .

Škurda River located north of the town of Kotor. No one can say with certainty where is its source, but it is assumed that is  Njegusi, where it dives and  breaks again on the slopes of  Lovcen with its magic  canyon finishing the run near walls of the town of Kotor and empties into the Bay. Škurda is the main city water supplies, but during the summer months, spring is salty. Luckely, in the same period , sources of fresh water in Orahovac  increases the capacity. Škurda Canyon is very atractuve for the fans of canyoning. .The canyon is passable throughout the year, except during heavy rains when water power is becoming too dangerous.

National park of Durmitor is surrounded by 5 impressive canyons – Tara Canyon, Piva Canyon, Komarnica Canyon, Draga Canyon and Sušica Canyon. On the western side of Durmitor is placed one of the most beautiful canyon of Montenegro – Sušica Canyon. Precisely, that impressive canyon with its amazing untouchable wild beauty is placed between the high cliffs of the SW part of Durmitor’s massif. On both sides, Sušica Canyon is surrounded by high vasty plateaus. Sušica Canyon is connected with Dolina Škrčkih jezera (Škrka Lakes Valley), another pearl of Durmitor National Park.

In the past Sušica river flows in usual river’s valley. After glacial erosion the water of Sušica river created Sušičko Jezero (Sušica Lake), which belong to the group of few periodical lakes in Durmitor. The glacier which was moved through the Sušica Canyon was 10 km long. During time of most intensive glaciation that glacier created some geological and morphological effects at the altitude 1140 m. Because of that influence Sušičko Jezero was formed. During melting of glacier the lake existed like a permanent object.

The Lim (Montenegrin and Serbian: Лим, Lim) is a river flowing through Montenegro, Albania, Serbia and Bosnia and Herzegovina. 220 km (137 mi) long, it’s the right and the longest tributary of the Drina.The Lim originates below Maglić peak in the Kuči area of eastern Montenegro, very close to the Albanian border, under the name of Vrmoša. Its source is only few kilometers away from the source of the Tara river, but the two rivers go in opposite directions: the Tara to the north-west and the Vrmoša to the east, and after only few kilometers it crosses over to Albania (Albanian: Lumi i Vermoshit). Passing through Prokletije mountains and the village of Vermosh, it re-enters Montenegro under the name of Grnčar. Receiving stream Vruje from the right at Gusinje, it continues as Ljuča for a few more kilometers where it empties into the Lake Plav, creating small delta. It flows out of the lake to the north, next to the high mountain Visitor, under the name Lim for the remaining 197 km (122 mi). It passes through Murino, continuing generally to the north through areas of Vasojevići, Gornji Kolašin, Donji Kolašin and Komarani, the Tivran gorge and the cities of Andrijevica, Berane, Bijelo Polje, Resnik and Nedakusi, entering Serbia between villages of Dobrakovo and Gostun. It receives the right tributaries of Lješnica (between the villages of Poda and Skakavac) and Bistrica (near the border) and left tributary of Ljuboviđa, near Bijelo Polje.Lim belongs to the Black Sea drainage basin through Drina, Sava and Danube. Its drainage basin covers 5,963 km2 (2,302 sq mi) and the river is not navigable.

It receives many smaller streams in Montenegro and Bosnia and Herzegovina, however, two most important being two of its right tributaries in Serbia, Uvac and Mileševska reka.

Though today is generally considered that the river’s name is derived from Latin word limes, which means border, it might originated from the Celtic root llyn or llym, meaning drink or water.
