Raška belongs to the basin of drainage of the Black Sea; its own basin covers a surface of: 1193 km ². It is not navigable.

Raška is born from the meeting of several underground brooks in the area of Pešter, in the south of the Monastère of Sopoćani. The flow of these brooks allowed the construction of the small underground hydroelectric station of Ras (6 MW).

Raška directs its race towards north, direction which it will preserve throughout its course. At the village of Pazarište, it receives on its line water of the Sebečevačka reka ; between the villages of Dojeviće and Vatevo, it receives on its left those of the Ljutska reka and, on its line, those of the Jošanica to Novi Pazar, the most important locality which is located on the course of the river.

It enters the area of the Raška , which constitutes the oriental party of a vaster area, the area of Stari Vlah - Raška (in the south-west of Serbia). The river passes to Petrova Crkva, Banja and Postenje. The lower part of its course densément is not densément populated, except for the villages of Požežina and Milatkoviće. Finally, the river reaches the town of Raška and the village of Supnje, where it is thrown in the Ibar.
