[4] From there it flows northeast for about 14 km, almost parallel to the White Nile, until a point 0.5 southwest of the village of Lado Koda (5°08′20″N 31°42′32″E / 5.139°N 31.709°E / 5.139; 31.709).
Along that valley, the altitude drops from 470 m (at 5°02′49″N 31°36′14″E / 5.047°N 31.604°E / 5.047; 31.604) to 435 m.[8] The river flows near the villages of Wulikare, Logogvi, Ludo Kenyi, Luala, and Lado Koda.
[9] The Nyangwara tribe in the Miri Hills, Mongalla province believed that Lotome, the first remembered ancestor of the Gwokorongo chiefs, lived at Dogeleng near the Koda River around 1800.
The area has been of interest to international relief agencies that produced plans for possible irrigation projects[7][8] or actually created and managed such installations and model farms.
[10] For example, the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA) offered a study of the construction of three dams—including one on the Koda river, a couple km west of Wulikare—to collect and store water for irrigation in the region of Jalang.
