List of rivers in the Central African Republic

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Central African Republic with the most important rivers

This is a list of the rivers in the Central African Republic . Virtually all of the precipitation in the country drains either via the Shari into the Chad Basin or via the Sangha and Ubangi into the Congo . Only in the far west of the Central African Republic are small areas of the catchment area of the border river Lom , which drains over the Sanaga into the Gulf of Guinea . The border to South Sudan is, apart from small blurring, almost congruent with the catchment area borders of the Ubangi and the Nile .
