Everything about The Chambeshi River totally explained
The
Chambeshi River (also known as the
Chambezi River) is a
river in northeastern
Zambia. It is the furthest headstream of the
Congo River in terms of length. (However, in terms of volume of water, the
Lualaba River is the greater source of the Congo). The Chambeshi rises as a stream in the mountains of northeast Zambia near
Lake Tanganyika at an elevation of 1760 metres above sea level. It flows for 480km into the
Bangweulu Swamps, which are part of
Lake Bangweulu, and by the end of the rainy season in May, it delivers a flood which recharges the swamps and inundates a vast floodplain to the southeast, supporting the
Bangweulu Wetlands ecosystem. The water then flows out of the swamps as the
Luapula River.
For more than 100 km of its length as it flows to the east of
Kasama the river consists of a maze of channels in
swamps about 2 km wide, in a
floodplain up to 25 km wide. Further downstream, where it's bridged by the Kasama-
Mpika road and the
Tazara Railway, the permanent main channel is about 100 m wide, and up to 400 m wide in flood.
