The Semliki River is the waterway that carries water from Lake Edward to Lake Albert.123
Issuing from the northwestern end of Lake Edward, the river flows for 143 miles (230 km) north-northeast along the western base of the Ruwenzori Range before emptying into Lake Albert. As it approaches Lake Albert, the river has built a significant alluvial plain and forms part of the international border between the Democratic Republic of the Congo and Uganda.13
