The Ouham River is about 676 km (420 mi) long and drains a basin of about 70,000 km² (27,000 sq mi). Its average discharge is about 480 m³/s (17,000 cu ft/s). It flows into the Chari River. It flows through or along the Central African Republic and Chad. Tributaries include Nana Barya River and Fafa.
The highlighted blue line is the course of the Ouham River as mapped by Natural Earth. Towns and cities on the map include Maroua, Bongor, Sarh, Moundou, Kélo, Meiganga, Bossangoa and Kaga-Bandoro.
Greens show lower elevations; tan and brown show higher land, with pale tones toward the highest terrain. Shadows emphasize the slopes, and vertical relief is exaggerated so landforms are easier to read. Dashed lines show country borders.
The relief uses Terrain Tiles (SRTM, GMTED2010 and ETOPO1 elevation data). Rivers, lakes, borders and the course of the Ouham River come from Natural Earth, and the figures on this page from Wikidata. Natural Earth draws features at a small scale, so the line is a guide to where the Ouham River is, not a surveyed boundary.
