The 'Lake Victoria', Africa's largest lake by area, serves as the main reservoir for which major river system?

💡 Solution & Explanation

Lake Victoria serves as the primary and expansive reservoir that feeds the White Nile, which travels northward to merge with the Blue Nile in Sudan. Major river systems like the Congo, Niger, and Zambezi drain into completely different oceanic basins and have separate headwater sources. Selecting the wrong river system ignores the central role of the East African Rift lakes in African hydrology. Lake Victoria is the largest tropical lake in the world and sustains millions of riparian livelihoods.
