Dam on the Nile

Dam on the Nile
The Nile River leaves Lake Victoria at Owen Falls Dam. The British-built Owen Falls Dam supplies an important portion of Uganda's electrical power. The river, called the Victoria Nile at this point, then widens to form Lake Kyoga, collects the Kafu River flowing from the west, and proceeds north into Lake Albert. On its continuing route to the Sudan border, the river is called the Albert Nile.
