evidence: Facts about Lake Victoria - Location: Lying mainly in Tanzania and Uganda but bordering on Kenya - Surface Area: 26,828 square miles - Maximum Depth: 80 to 84 m - Water Volume: 2,424 km3 - No. of islands: 1000 - Elevation: 1135m - Primary Outflow: White Nile Lake Victoria is located in Africa, sitting between Tanzania, Uganda, and Kenya. However, each country shares a different percentage of the lake’s surface area. 49% is in Tanzania, 45% is in Uganda, and 6% is in Kenya. Lake Victoria is special for being one of only two places in East Africa where it’s possible to watch the sunset over water without being on the coast! [...] Lake Victoria is nestled concavely between the western Albertine Rift and the eastern segment of the Great Rift Valley. Approximately 85% of the lake’s water inflow and 15% of its outflow are primarily attributed to evaporation and rainfall rather than river systems. Additionally, small streams from the Kagera River basin contribute water to the lake that is the largest river flowing into lake . The lake’s sole outlet is located near Jinja in Uganda, situated on the northern shore. These characteristics render Lake Victoria highly susceptible to climate fluctuations and variations in rainfall patterns.
