The main ones are the Peteh, called the Banten on the lower reaches near the city of Kota Banten (with a basin area of 257.15 km2), the Ujung (basin area of 2,022.14 km2), which enters the sea at Pontang, the Durian (basin area of 732.62 km2), which enters the sea at Tanara, the Manceuri, and the Sadane (basin area of 1,400.32 km2), which rises in the mountainous region of Priyangan and in 1682 formed the border between the Dutch East India Company (VOC) territory and Batavia (modern Jakarta).{{sfn|Talens|1999|p=40}} The rivers fan out into deltas near the coast.{{sfn|Talens|1999|p=40}} The Ciujung discharges into the {{convert|120|km2}} of Banten Bay.{{sfn|Green|2003|p=176}}
