The '''Kat River''' ({{lang-af|Katrivier}}) is a [[river]] in the [[Eastern Cape Province]] of [[South Africa]]. It is said to be the slowest river in the country. The [[Khoisan]] people originally named this river ''Nukakamma'' (Grassy Water) because the river's banks are always green and grassy despite the arid terrain that it runs through.
The '''Kat River''' ({{lang-af|Katrivier}}) is a [[river]] in the [[Eastern Cape Province]] of [[South Africa]]. It supplies the Kat River Valley with irrigation water for large citrus orchards, as well as [[Seymour, Eastern Cape|Seymour]] and [[Fort Beaufort]] of domestic water.

Presently this river is part of the [[Fish to Tsitsikama Water Management Area]].
