An experimental vent pipe was installed at Lake Nyos in 2001 to remove gas from the deep water, but such a solution for the much larger Lake Kivu would be considerably more expensive. The approximately 510 million metric tons (500 × 10 ^ 6 long tons) of carbon dioxide in the lake is a little under 2 percent of the amount released annually by ...
Therefore, mean depth figures are not available for many deep lakes in remote locations. [9] The average lake on Earth has the mean depth 41.8 meters (137.14 feet) [9] The Caspian Sea ranks much further down the list on mean depth, as it has a large continental shelf (significantly larger than the oceanic basin that contains its greatest depths).
The dam is 3 kilometres (1.9 mi) downstream from the Lake Kivu overflow at the head of the Rusizi River. It is in a V-shaped valley running through a mountainous region that is 1,460 metres (4,790 ft) above sea level at Bukavu, at the head of the river. The catchment area is mostly urban. [2]
It is 16 kilometres (9.9 mi) downstream from the Lake Kivu overflow at the head of the Rusizi River. It is in a V-shaped valley running through a mountainous region that is 1,460 metres (4,790 ft) above sea level at Bukavu, at the head of the river. The catchment area includes a mix of urban, suburban and rural land use.

Buses and ambulances evacuated 86 people from a nursing home in Yellville, Arkansas, where water rose to about 4 feet (1.2 meters) during flash flooding, Marion County Sheriff Gregg Alexander said.
In January, 22 people died on Lake Maî-Ndombe and in April 2023, six were killed and 64 went missing on Lake Kivu. Witnesses said the boat that capsized on Thursday was visibly overcrowded. “I was at the port of Kituku when I saw the boat arriving from Minova, full of passengers,” Francine Munyi told the AP.
(4) The lake waters will be severely disturbed, with fast flowing currents away from the water/gas spout and inward-flowing deep water dredging up silt and sludge ffrom the lake bottom. Once the surge has retreated the lake depth may have dropped a metre or more and the water will be smelly, brown and virtualy anoxic.
