  Luapula Province border dispute - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Northern Rhodesia needed the Pedicle Road that connects Luapula Province to the Copperbelt.
He noted that as the frontier between Rhodesia and the Belgian Congo was situated in Lake Mweru and on the thalweg of the Luapula in a part of its course, it was appropriate for each of the riparian states to exercise their sovereign rights in the waters falling respectively under their jurisdiction.
The maps showed the frontier deviating from the centre of the Lake and passing to the west of Kilwa Island which, the Belgians said, was a peninsula attached to Belgian territory.

Without entering the lake the Chambezi mingles its waters in the swamp with those of the Luapula.
The Luapula, which leaves Bangweulu at its most southern point, is about a mile wide at the outflow, but soon narrows to 300 or so yds.
The flood waters of the Chambezi and other streams, which deposit large quantities of alluvium, are gradually solidifying the swamp, while the Luapula is believed to be, though very slowly, draining Bangweulu.

 Rice-Cum-Fish Trials in Luapula Province, Zambia
This paper documents the conduct, the methodology and the results of rice-cum-fish farming trials carried out in Luapula Province, Zambia, during the rainy season 1992–93.
