List of countries without rivers

There are currently 19 countries and 16 dependencies that do not have a river flowing within them.[1]

The Chinese special administrative region of Macau has no permanent natural rivers other than a small artificial canal named Yayong River (鴨涌河). Due to environment issues, this small canal is currently being backfilled with land by the local government. Eventually, this small canal will cease to exist.[2]
