Great Lakes (Africa) : ウィキペディア英語版
African Great Lakes

The African Great Lakes ((スワヒリ語:Maziwa Makuu)) are a series of lakes constituting the part of the Rift Valley lakes in and around the East African Rift. They include Lake Victoria, the third largest fresh water lake in the world by area, and Lake Tanganyika, the world's second largest lake by volume and depth.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=~ZAMBIA~ )
The large rift lakes of Africa are the ancient home of great biodiversity; 10 percent of the world's fish species are found there. Lakes Victoria, Tanganyika, and Malawi hold a quarter of the planet's freshwater supply.
Countries in the African Great Lakes region (sometimes also called ''Greater Lakes region'') include Burundi, the Democratic Republic of Congo, Kenya, Rwanda, Tanzania and Uganda.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://library.princeton.edu/resource/3870 )
==Catchments==

The African Great Lakes are divided among three different catchments (river basins); a number, such as Lake Turkana, also have internal drainage systems. The following, in order of size from largest to smallest, are included on most lists of the African Great Lakes:
* Lake Victoria (Nam Lolwe/Nalubaale)
* Lake Tanganyika
* Lake Malawi (Lake Nyassa)
* Lake Turkana
* Lake Albert
* Lake Rukwa
* Lake Mweru
* Lake Kivu
* Lake Edward (Rutanzige)
Some call only Lake Victoria, Lake Albert, and Lake Edward the Great Lakes, as they are the only three that empty into the White Nile. Lake Kyoga is part of the Great Lakes system. However, it is not itself considered a Great Lake, based on size alone. Lake Tanganyika and Lake Kivu both empty into the Congo River system, while Lake Malawi is drained by the Shire River into the Zambezi. Lake Turkana has no outlet.
