Chad is mostly made up of a dry, dusty, shallow basin. Lake Chad, the fourth largest lake in Africa., is situated to the west along the border with Cameroon. The lake is surrounded by mountains, including the volcanic Tibesti Massif, and high plateaus. The country has two rivers -- Chari and Logone -- with tributaries, all of which flow into Lake Chad.

Energy Shortages
Chad is facing a major crisis of shortage of electricity. Less than 3% of Chad has access to electricity. Africa is working on dipersing electricity throughout the entire continent, but the earliest they would have electricity is in 2050! Chadians are having difficult times in lighting classrooms, refrigerating food and medicine, and irrigating crops. Although, they do have rivers, sunlight, wind, some oil, and organic waste that they can use for energy. Sponsors and donors help some with this problem of limited electricity, but it's not enough to end it.
