Location

Lake Kachera is located in Mbarara district in the Western part of Uganda. Lake Kachera is located at coordinates 0°35′42″S31°06′54″E / 0.595°S 31.115°E / -0.595; 31.115 . [12] [13] [14] Lake Kachera is located at an altitude of 1,232 metres (4,042 feet) above sea level. [13] It is located near Lake Mburo National Park. [15] [16] [11]

Lake Kachera is a part of the Koki Lakes system of lakes that are separated from Lake Victoria by an extension of vast swamps, and it is also one of the lakes that make the Victoria satellite lakes. [13] [17] [16] [18] [19] The Koki Lakes consist of Lake Kachera, Lake Mburo, Lake Kijanebalola and Lake Nakivali. [18]

Geography and formation

After the 1997 El Niño event, Lake Kacheera lost most of its waters to Lake Victoria due to a massive water flow via Lake Kijjanebarora and its level fell by 3 metres. [20] Lake Kachera also lost its floating island that used to be a refugium for the fish. [20] Its shores are covered with swamps, thickets and woodlands. [21]

Lake Kachera is a shallow lake with an average depth of 5 metres (16 feet) and also cover an area of 42 square kilometres (16 square miles) and a shoreline of 81 km. [22] It has a maximum length of 20 kilometres (12 miles) and width of 3.5 kilometres (2.2 miles). [23]

River Ruizi flows from the Bushenyi district and passes through Lake Kachera and Lake Kijanebalola before it enters into Lake Mburo and ending in Lake Victoria. [20] [24] It drains it waters into Lake Victoria via Kagera River which is its only river out flow. [23]

River Rwizi also pours its water into Lake Victoria through Lake Kachera which is a drainage system for Lake Victoria. [25] [26] [27]
