Tributaries of the Moglenitsas include the Xiropotamos, Toplitsas, Koziakas and Golemas rivers. As the only outflow from the region of Almopia it flows between low hills to the south, where it forms a small canyon. In the 1930s the river was redirected by use of a canal and today irrigates the region of Almopia.[2][3]The river is used for sports such as rafting and kayaking and for irrigation.[4][5]
