List of rivers in Chad

The Chad Basin

Vegetation in Chad

This is a list of the rivers in Chad . The country is hydrologically dominated by the Chad Basin . Apart from smaller areas in the north and northeast and a small piece in the extreme southwest, all precipitation in the country flows to Lake Chad in the southwest of the country. Since the northern half has a desert climate, all watercourses that regularly carry water are in the south of the country. They are largely influenced by the hydrology of the Central African Republic and the Shari . Otherwise there are only a few wadis in the north of the country. There are still rivers on the edge of the Benue catchment area in the extreme southwest and interactions with the hydrology of North Cameroon. There is the former outflow of what is now the endorheic Lake Chad; in earlier times about 1/3 of Chad was flooded by the lake ( mega-Chad ) and all watercourses in the country drained via the Benue into the Niger .
