Kääryjoki

Kääryjoki is a river located in the municipality of Laitila in the Southwest Finland region. It originates in the area of Yliskylä and flows generally southwestward through a landscape characterized by agricultural lands and scattered forests. The river is relatively short and its discharge varies seasonally. Kääryjoki is part of the larger Kokemäenjoki river basin. Its waters eventually drain into the Gulf of Bothnia. The river supports a modest ecosystem typical of southern Finnish waterways, with various aquatic plants and fish species. The surrounding areas are primarily used for farming, and the river has historically played a role in local drainage and water management for these agricultural purposes. There are no major settlements directly on the Kääryjoki, with the nearest significant town being Laitila. The river's name, Kääryjoki, translates from Finnish as "roll river," though the origin of this name is not definitively documented. It is a minor watercourse within the Finnish landscape, contributing to the regional hydrological network.
