Bahr El Ghazal River
The Bahr el Ghazal () or Naam River ( Nuer) is a river in South Sudan. The South Sudanese region of Bahr el Ghazal takes its name from the river. The Bahr el Ghazal is the main western tributary of the Nile. It is long, flowing through the Sudd wetlands to Lake No, where it joins the White Nile. Hydrology The Bahr al Ghazal's drainage basin is the largest of any of the Nile's subbasins, measuring 520,000 km (200,800 mi) in size, but it contributes a relatively small amount of water, about 2 m3/s (70 ft3/s) annually, due to tremendous volumes of water being lost in the Sudd wetlands. Seasonally, the river's discharge ranges from nothing to 48 m3/s (1,700 ft3/s). According to some sources, the river is formed by the confluence of the Jur River and Bahr al-Arab rivers. However other more recent sources say the river rises in the Sudd wetlands with no definitive source, that the Jur River joins at Lake Ambadi, and the Bahr al-Arab joins below that.; online ...
