Ripon Falls

About

Ripon Falls were a series of waterfalls formerly located at the northern shore of Lake Victoria, near Jinja, in eastern Uganda. The falls marked the point where Lake Victoria drained into the Victoria Nile and were long regarded as the traditional source of the Nile River. Ripon Falls were submerged in the mid 20th century following the construction of the Nalubaale Dam (Owen Falls Dam).
