Lol is a flow in the region of Bahr al-Ghazal in Southern Sudan , in the Bahr alArab opens (Kiir).
course
It rises in the Bongo massif , near the border with the Central African Republic . At Uwail the railway line from Babanusa to Waw crosses the river. The Ashana Game Reserve lies on its banks .
The exact course at the mouth is unclear. In the flat terrain there are channels that connect the Jur with the Lol and lead to the Bahr al-Arab.
Hydrometry
The flow rate of the river was measured for 41 years (1944–1985) at the Nyamlell gauge in m³ / s.
Civil War
Since the area around the river is only slightly south of the demarcation line between North and South Sudan , it was repeatedly affected by fighting and displacement in the course of the war of civil secession in South Sudan .
