The territory of Sorisole is crossed by several streams that are part of the hydrographic basin of the Brembo river. Among the main ones are Giongo, which originates from Canto Alto and flows eastward until it flows into the Brembo, and Quisa, which skirts the hills of Bergamo and flows southward until it also flows into the Brembo. Then there are also Morla and Bondaglio, a tributary of Quisa.
