  WORLD ENCYCLOPAEDIA - Chad - Rivers   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
Chad's major rivers are the Chari and the Logone and their tributaries, which flow from the southeast into Lake Chad.
The Chari River contributes 95 percent of Lake Chad's water, an average annual volume of 40 billion cubic meters, 95 percent of which is lost to evaporation.
The size of the lake is determined by rains in the southern highlands bordering the basin and by temperatures in the Sahel.

The next morning, Chari was quiet, increasingly intense as we neared the source (of the Ganga), the cavernous Gaumukh set in a towering snout of ice and glacial rock.
The infant Ganga was a chilling blue, and as we climbed the empty pilgrim's trail, we left the last of the forest for a desert landscape of gray and brown.
Five years later we carried Chari's ashes up the Ganga, in a time of winter silence, the river sparse skeins of lapis and steel, knitted into a valley of ash gray and bone white.
