Lake Chad

Lake Chad is divided into north and south parts by a natural dam, with the bottom of the northern basin at an altitude of 275.3 meters and the bottom of the southern basin at 278.2 meters. When the water level in the south exceeds 279 meters above sea level, it will flow into the north. In the south, there is continuous open water at the mouth of the Shali River, and the western part of the water is covered by reed swamps, and the sand dunes that are not completely submerged in the eastern waters form an archipelago. The average depth of the southern lake basin is between 0.5 and 2 meters, that of the northern lake basin is between 0 and 1.8 meters, and that of the eastern archipelago is between 0 and 2 meters.
