About 80% of the country is drained from the Nile and about 20% draw water from the Ruzizi River and Lake Tanganyika. The longest river in the country is the Niabalongo River (Nyabarongo River) in the southwest, which turns north, east and southeast into the Ruwuwu River and forms the Kagera River, which flows due north along the eastern border of Tanzania. Both the Niabarongo River and the Cagella River will eventually flow into Lake Victoria. There are many lakes in Rwanda, of which Lake Kivu is the largest. The lake is located at the bottom of the Aberdeen Rift Valley and extends along the western border of Rwanda. With a maximum depth of 480 meters, it is one of the 20 deepest lakes in the world.
