词条 Baḥr al-Ghazāl
释义
Baḥr al-Ghazāl
river, The Sudan
also spelled Bahr el-Ghazal, English Gazelle River,
river, The Sudan, chief western affluent of the Nile River. It is 445 miles (716 km) long and joins the upper Nile (Baḥr al-Jabal) through Lake No, from which it flows eastward as the White Nile (Baḥr al-Abyaḍ). Vaguely known to early Greek geographers, the river was mapped in 1772 by the French geographer Jean-Baptiste Bourguignon d'Anville. It is known as the Baḥr al-Ghazāl only after joining with its main affluents (the Jur, Tonj, and Baḥr al-ʿArab). The river has a catchment area of 328,750 square miles (851,459 square km) extending as far west as the Central African Republic (the watershed of the Chari River) and Congo (Kinshasa). Its tributaries cut valleys across the Ironstone Plateau before reaching the clay plain of the Baḥr al-Ghazāl. The evaporation and transpiration due to passage through the swamps of as-Sudd so reduce the water flow that the seasonal discharge into Lake No ranges from nothing to 1,700 cubic feet (48 cubic m) per second.
