The map below shows 13 major river basins in Africa: Congo, Niger, Nile, the Senegal, Juba Shibeli, Lake Chad, Lake Turkana, Limpopo, Ogooue, Okavango, Orange, Volta, and Zambezi river.

2015年5月28日 · There are sixty-three transboundary river basins in Africa, covering 64 percent of the continent’s land area. Kongo is the largest river basin of Africa, covering over 12 percent of the continent.

2023年11月8日 · Africa's extensive rivers and basins support a variety of ecosystems and give its inhabitants access to vital resources. Major river basins including the Sudan, Chad, Djouf, Congo (Zaire), and Kalahari basins have a significant impact on the topography, hydrology, and biodiversity of the continent.

2023年5月5日 · Basin Size: 1,550,000 sq mo (4,014,500 sq km) The Congo Rainforest is the second-largest rainforest in the world. 3. Niger River. The Niger River has 10 other different names, four of which are listed below. It is also a relatively clear river, having about 10 percent of the sediment the Nile river has.

This map shows the locations of 13 major river basins in Africa: the Senegal, Volta, Niger, Lake Chad, Nile, Lake Turkana, Juba Shibeli, Ogooue, Congo, Zambezi, Okavango, Limpopo and Orange river basins.

There are 63 transboundary river basins in Africa, covering 64% of the continent’s land area (UNEP 2010). The Zambezi basin is the fourth largest in Africa after the Congo, Nile and Niger River Basins (Mukosa and Mwiinga 2008).

The Nile Basin is the part of Africa drained by the Nile River and its tributaries. Besides being the second largest hydrographic basin in Africa, the Nile Basin is effectively the most notable drainage basin on the continent.

Africa is home to the longest river in the world -the Nile- and other major rivers like the Congo and the Niger. This layer shows the official boundaries of river (sub-)basins in Africa (approved and used by the FAO). The downloadable dataset contains the boundaries of the major hydrological basins and their sub-basins.
