... that the Ombla River (pictured) near Dubrovnik, Croatia, is the shortest river in the world, flowing approximately 30 metres (98 feet) before emptying into the Adriatic Sea?

Nice work. Date and size check out; image is Commons and appropriatly licensed; AGF on Croatian sources. However, I have to quibble with the hook. Both the D River and Roe River have in the past been certified by Guinness as being the world's shortest river; while Guinness no longer certifies such a record and both rivers are longer, the Reprua River is both named as a river and 12 metres (39 ft) shorter. Perhaps changing the hook and article to "...claimed to be the shortest..." might work? - The Bushranger One ping only 23:38, 24 June 2012 (UTC)
