		The large river, known as the Luapula (Great River), which issues from Bangweulu in 1I° 31' S. and runs south through this swamp, may be regarded as a continuation of the Chambezi, there being a channel from the one stream to the other.
		The river, the width of which varies from 250 to 1200 yds., is almost unnavigable until below the Johnston Falls (Mambilima of the natives), a series of rapids extending from 11° io' to 1o° 3o' S. Below the falls the river is navigable by steamer all the way to Lake Mweru—a distance of loo m.
		East of the Lualaba—between it and the Luapula—rises the river Lufira.

		The large river, known as the Luapula (Great River), which issues from Bangweulu in 11° 31' S. and runs south through this swamp, may be regarded as a continuation of the Chambezi, there being a channel from the one stream to the other.
		Before entering Mweru (q.v.) the Luapula again passes through a swampy region of deltaic character, a great part of the water escaping eastwards by various channels, and after spreading over a wide area finally passing into Mweru by lagoon-like channels east of the main Luapula mouth.
		The river issuing from Lake Kisale is called Kamolondo; it has a width varying from 300 to loon ft. and an average depth of io ft. From Konde Rapids to those of Dia in 5° 20' - a distance of 300 m.

		The Lualaba River, considered to be the upper Congo River, rises in SE Congo (Kinshasa), flows north over rapids and falls to Bukama, and thence across a vast plain and through a series of marshy lakes (Kabwe, Kabele, Upemba) to receive the Luvua River at Ankoro.
		The river is continued offshore by a c.500-mi-long (800-km) submarine canyon that is c.4,000 ft (1,220 m) deep.
		It became known as the Zaïre River (a corruption of the local name Mzadi meaning “great water”) and was later referred to as the Congo River (for the Kongo kingdom located near its mouth); it was called Zaïre River by the government of Zaïre (now Congo [Kinshasa]) from 1971 to 1997.

		The remaining portions drain into the basins of the river Congo and of Lake Tanganyika, and also into the small lake or half-dried swamp called Chilwa, which at the present time has no outlet, though in past ages it probably emptied itself into the Lujenda river, and thence into the Indian Ocean.
