The Sindoro mountain complex serves as the headwaters for the Progo river basin on the eastern slope and the Serayu river basin on the western slope. The boundary between the headwaters of these two river basins extends southeastward from the Sindoro mountain complex to the summit of Mount Sumbing. The headwaters of the Progo River basin on the eastern side flow through Temanggung, while the headwaters of the Serayu River basin on the western side flow through Wonosobo. Both of their mainstem ultimately discharge into the Indian Ocean, on the southern coast of Java, separated by a distance of approximately 125 kilometres (78 mi).[2]
