The northern shore of the lake forms part of Burundi's border with Rwanda. It is famous as the most distant startpoint of the Nile River. The Kagera River, which is considered by many as the start point of the Nile, rises at the northern part of the lake, located in Rwanda. GeographyThe lake has a surface area of {{convert|100|km2|-1|abbr=on}} between two countries, Burundi ({{convert|80|km2|-1|abbr=on}}) and Rwanda ({{convert|20|km2|-1|abbr=on}}). The lake has a shoreline of approximately 76 km. The lake is very shallow in most parts and has a mean depth of 2.1 m with its maximum depth at 3 m located in Burundi. The Kagera River flows out of the lake in Burundi and flows east along Rwanda's border until it joins the Ruvubu River.[1] ControversyIn August 2015 fishermen in Burundi living around the lake in the Muyinga Province recovered over 40 unidentified bodies floating in the lake. Most of the bodies were wrapped in plastic flow into Burundi from Rwanda with the Kagera River. The bodies recovered were in the advance stages of decomposition, alarming the local villagers due to health concerns.[2] Burundi claims that all the bodies recovered were Rwanda See also
