Ruki River

In the Democratic Republic of Congo, there is Ruki River. It is a Congo River tributary on the left bank. It might be compared to the lower reaches of the Busira River, which could be compared to the lower reaches of the Tshuapa River.

The Ruki River is a prominent river in the middle Congo River basin's Cuvette Centrale. The watershed is approximately 14,000,000 square kilometers in size (5,400,000 sq mi). Almost all of the lowland and marsh forest in the drainage basin is untouched. The Ruki River originates above Ingende, where the Momboyo River joins the Busira River on the left and flows west-northwest.

It joins the Congo from the east, passing via Mbandaka to the north. The Ruki and its main tributary, the Busira, are navigable all year since the depth is always greater than 1 metre (3 ft 3 in) and exceeds 2 metres (6 ft 7 in) during the flood season. March-April and November are the months with the highest water levels. February and June-July are the months with the lowest water levels. This river is one of longest Rivers in Congo.
