The Mbéré is a river in Central Africa and a source river of the Logone .
course
It rises north of Meiganga in the highlands of Cameroon , on the Baia plateau , at an altitude of about 1100 m. It runs mainly in an easterly - northeast direction through the Vallée du Mbéré National Park . After the mouth of the Ngou, the Mbéré first forms the border between Cameroon and the Central African Republic , and later the border between Cameroon and Chad . It joins the Vina 30 km north of the border triangle on the border between Chad and Cameroon .
ID
The information about the rivers of the region are partly different. In some cases, the Mbéré is equated with the Logone Occidental (western Logone), which unites with the Pendé and forms the Logone . On other maps it changes its name to Logone Occidental after the confluence with the Vina. Accordingly, the catchment areas with 7430 km² and a discharge of 114 m³ / s and 21,360 km² and a discharge of 346 m³ / s are given differently.
Hydrometry
The flow rate of the river was measured in m³ / s at the Mbere station
