	Lake Baringo
		Lake Baringo has a number of inlets (Molo, Ol Arabel, Mukutan and Ndau Rivers) and no known outlet, meaning that the water of Lake Baringo is the sum of rainfall, inlets and evapotransporation (Thom and Martin, 1983; Barton et al, 1987).
		Lake Baringo has yet to be drilled for core analysis and no study exists on the modern and historical fluctuations or their relationship to rainfall and vegetation.
		Lake Baringo is located at 0° 36' N and 36° 04' E, 60 km north of the equator and 975 meters above sea level (Odour et al, 2003).

		Lake Malawi, originally known as Lake Nyasa, Lake Nyassa and Lake Niassa after the Yao word for "lake" (officially, still called Niassa in Mozambique), is the most southerly lake in the Great African Rift Valley system.
		The lake is about 560 km long and 75 km wide at its widest point, with a total area of approximately 29,600 sq km, and is bordered by Mozambique, Malawi, and Tanzania.
		Lake Malawi has traditionally provided a major food source to the residents of Malawi as it is rich in fish, the most famous of which is the Chambo, a fresh-water perch.

	Kenya safari guide - Kenyalogy: Parks and reserves: Lake Baringo
		Lake Baringo is part of the Great Rift Valley, the Earth's great scar, which in Kenya is fringed by a string of lakes.
		The lake is -or used to be- a quiet and solitary oasis embedded in the abrupt and arid land that foresees the northern deserts.
		The lake is also populated with crocodiles, considered harmless by the local Njemps people, paranilotic fishers and shepherds related with the Maasai that speak a dialect of the Maa language.

		Through these lakes the river, which rises in the upland north of Lake Nyassa, named in different parts of its course the Chambeze, Luapula, or Lyalaba, flows in great bends to west and northward to where it passes into the unknown country still to be explored in the heart of the continent.
		Lake Baringo, north-east of the Victoria, is reported to be a great fresh lake, discharging towards the Nile by a river which is possibly the Sobat tributary.
		Lake Ngami, the corresponding lake in the southern continental system, at an elevation of about 2900 feet, is also a shallow reedy lagoon, varying in extent according to the season.

		The lake is fed by two rivers, El Molo and Ol Arabel and has no obvious outlet, despite this it's is one of only two freshwater lakes (it is in fact slightly saline, but not enough to bother the crocs, hippos or people who swim in it) in the Great Rift Valley in Kenya.
		The climate in the region is generally hot and dry and away from the lake shore the surrounding countryside appears quite barren.
		While it lacks the spectacle of some of its saline neighbours such as Lake Bogoria and Lake Nakuru with their huge flocks of flamingos, it more than makes up for this with the sheer variety of birdlife to be found in and around its shores.

		The situation has been aggravated by the invasion of the shoreline by the fast-spreading thorny Prosopis juliflora plant that was introduced in the country to curb desertification but has taken a life of its own and is making life almost unbearable for the local farming and pastoralist communities.
		Although RAE has helped reclaim more than 4,000 acres of the severely degraded semi-arid land in the neighbourhood of Lake Baringo, the organisation's efforts to curb the lake's siltation are greatly hampered by the vast deforestation that has been taking place, far away in the Mau Forest where River Molo rises.
		Mr Roberts believes that the lake can be saved with the introduction of proper farming practices in the catchment areas, coupled with afforestation programmes in the Mau Forest, which is the source of many rivers.
