The Owenacurra River is the main river that flows through the heart of Midleton, County Cork, before forming a tidal estuary that empties into Cork Harbour.

Unfortunately, the river is primarily known for its annual winter floods.
Midleton's town center is regularly affected by flooding. A closer look reveals the damage to the houses. The sandbags and boards blocking the front doors are also a striking sight.
