Lake Rukwa
Lake Rukwa is an endorheic lake in the Rukwa Valley of southwestern Tanzania.

Almost half of the lake lies in Uwanda Game Reserve.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Rukwa Uwanda Game Reserve )〕 The lake has seen large fluctuations in its size over the years, due to varying inflow of streams. Currently it is about long and averages about wide, making it about in size.〔Google Earth accessed 6 February 2007〕 In 1929 it was only about long, but in 1939 it was about long and wide.〔(Encyclopædia Britannica Online/Lake Rukwa )〕 The lake may at times have been even higher and linked Lake Tanganyika with Lake Malawi; ancient shorelines suggest a final date of overflow into Tanganyika of 33,000BP. ==See also==
