Tibetsi
The Tibesti volcanic complex is situated mid way between the Lake Chad and the Gulf of Syrte in the Southern part of Libya and Northern part of Chad.
This region constitutes around 350-mile triangle in length. This region has seven volcanic mountains and is surrounded by plateaus and sandstone plains found in the central part of Sahara.
Lake Chad is becoming shallower than it used to be thousand of years ago. This lake is mainly fed by the river water that flows down from the highlands. It primarily depends on the water from Chari River. But from this lake, no river originates. Near the lake region, Papyrus grows in abundance. Vegetation in this area is swampy.
Lake Fitri is another fresh water lake in Chad. The lake is not very deep and its water level depends on the water received from seasonal rivers in Chad or from rainfall that is often irregular.
