Inga Falls, Rapids and waterfalls in Seke-Banza Territory, Democratic Republic of the Congo
The Congo River drops 96 meters over a 15-kilometer stretch, creating a series of powerful rapids and waterfalls divided by numerous rocky islands.
The construction of the first hydroelectric dam at Inga Falls began in 1972, leading to the completion of a uranium enrichment facility at the site.
The Inga Falls area represents a central point for energy distribution across multiple provinces, supporting industrial operations and regional development goals.
The water flow through Inga Falls reaches approximately 42,476 cubic meters per second, making it a primary location for hydroelectric power generation.
The river narrows dramatically from 4 kilometers to 260 meters at a sharp bend, creating intense water pressure through the Inga Falls section.
