		Of the southern tributaries the Lomami, which pursues a course mostly parallel to the upper Congo, is the chief, whilst the Lulonga joins the main stream many kilometres to the west.
		Joining the middle Congo on the right or north bank are the Aruwimi and Ituri, which rise near Lake Albert and drain the equatorial forests, the Rubi and the Ubangi or Welle, which is by far the largest tributary on this side.
		Below the Ubangi is the Sanga, which flows into the river from the north, and the Kasai which drains much of southern part of the river and enters from the east.

	Congo River Basin: Geology and soil type influence drought impact
		Two main points emerge: the Congo discharge levels were markedly unstable during the second half of the century, decreasing steeply over the last decade; and, although the discharge fluctuations are induced by rainfall variations, that influence is modified considerably by the soil type and geology of the terrain through which the rivers pass.
		The River Congo, the second longest African river after the Nile, second in the world, after the Amazon, in terms of discharge, itself accounts for half the total volume of waters which pour into the Atlantic from that continent.
		This trend accentuated from 1980 and, until 1996, the Congo discharge weakened by 10% (37 400 m3/s in 1992 compared with an average of 40 600 m3 /s over that period as a whole), which was the most dramatic decrease of the century.

	Alfred Wegener Institute (Neogene sedimentation processes in the South Atlantic)
		Gravity mass transport and turbidity currents resulted from the development of the Congo River drainage system and led to the distribution of material farther to the southwest.
		The channels observed in the different seismostratigraphic units show a southwestward movement with time, the older ones being restricted to the northern flank of the fan while the recent ones are found in the southern area of investigation.
		A model for the evolution of Neogene and Quaternary sedimentation proposes that the pattern changed from a single sediment source, the Kouilou/Niari River (KNR), in Late Paleogene/Early Neogene time to two sediment sources represented by the KNR and the Congo River, in Middle/Late Miocene.
