Lake Mweru

Lake Mweru receives the Luapula River at its southern end and gives rise to the Luvua in the north. The Luapula approaches the lake through a broad floodplain dotted with lagoons; the Luvua carries its waters onward to the Lualaba and the Congo. The lake and its surrounding wetlands form part of a great chain of rivers and lakes in south-central Africa.
