The launch of #LVBICE2026 set the stage for an important regional conversation on the future of the #LakeVictoriaBasin. At the launch, our Executive Director, Dr. @joanes_atela, emphasised the need to sustain engagement beyond the conference and strengthen the links between research, policy, innovation and implementation. @arin_africa is proud to contribute through the Scientific Steering Committee ahead of the 4–9 October conference in Kisumu. #LakeVictoriaBasin

Climate Change has diverse effects on hydrological response of river and lake basins. I presented a Hydro-Climatic Modeling approach of #LakeVictoriaBasin, East Africa, under the #IMPACT Project by #EuropeanUnion, #VUB Belgium. #WaterAndClimate With Prof. Dr @WimThiery

The White Nile contributes a total of 12 billion cubic meters of water; however, the actual amount is 9 billion cubic meters. This is because 3 billion cubic meters of water originate from #Ethiopia as part of the Baro River Basin in the Gambela region. Lake Victoria, one of the largest freshwater lakes in the world, spans an impressive area of 68,000 square kilometers. The average depth of this expansive body of water is around 40 meters. In terms of volume, a one-meter increase in the lake's height translates to an additional 68 billion cubic meters of water. A detailed image provides information about the various depths found within Lake Victoria. These depths range from shallow areas of less than 16 meters to deeper sections that reach more than 63 meters (up to 74 meters). The gauge for monitoring Lake Victoria's water level is situated in Entebbe, #Uganda, an area characterized by depths of less than 16 meters. The highest water level ever recorded at this gauge was 13.42 meters on May 8, 2020. Prior to this, the historical record stood at 13.41 meters, which was observed on May 12, 1964. Lake Victoria receives an annual rainfall of approximately 127 billion cubic meters. Out of this volume, around 95 to 100 billion cubic meters are lost to evaporation, consumption, and the return flow of the Nile River. Consequently, the lake experiences a net annual water replenishment of about 27 billion cubic meters. As for the distribution of water from Lake Victoria, 19 billion cubic meters flow towards Lakes Kyoga and Albert. This volume then increases to 26 billion cubic meters as it continues its journey towards #SouthSudan. Along the way, 14 billion cubic meters of water are lost in swampy areas, leaving only 12 billion cubic meters to reach the region of Malakal.

Riverine fishes of #LakeVictoriaBasin. The rare Labeobarbus bynni and Enteromius spp. - E. cercops, E. kirstenii, E. nyanzae and E. neumayeri. Exciting to report healthy populations of the threatened Labeo victorianus. @AquaScience @UniEldoret @DepartmentFAS @LabeoVictorianus

Currently, less than 3% of the cross-border trade in East Africa is transported across Lake Victoria. Partner states🇺🇬🇹🇿🇰🇪🇷🇼 are deliberating on an integrated strategy to reduce costs, improve interconnectivity & speed of inland water transport. #LakeVictoriabasin
