Salamat
river, Africa
Quick Summary
The Salamat River is a river in Africa that flows into the Chari River, a principal tributary feeding Lake Chad. The Salamat River originates in Darfur, Sudan, and in its middle course, it is replenished by the waters of Lake Iro. The river then divides into numerous branches that spread into a delta and end in the Chari River. The Chari River itself is about 870 miles (1,400 km) long and its basin covers 250,000 square miles (650,000 square km), uniting the drainage of the southern part of the Chad inland basin.1
