Chari River
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Chari or Shari River is a 949-kilometer-long river of central Africa, flowing from the Central African Republic through Chad into Lake Chad. Much of Chad's population, including Sarh and the capital N'Djamena, is concentrated around it. It provides 90% of the water flowing into Lake Chad. The watershed of the river covers 548,747 km².
The principal tributary is the Logone River, while minor trutaries are the Bahr Salamat, the Bahr Sarh, the Bahr Aouk and the Bahr Keïta.
The river supports an important local fishing industry. One of the most highly prized local fishes is the Nile Perch.
