Reservoir routing
Figures 12-15 show that Lake Albert can be simulated using the reservoir
routing model in attenuating flood peaks. A summary of the results of the
flood routing is shown in Table 4.

Flood plain delineation
The demarcation of the flood zones is shown in Fig. 16, gives an indication
of the susceptibility of the flood plain on the Uganda side of the lake, which
is restricted to the Rift Valley floor.
