About

Lake Nzilo (formerly Lake Delcommune, also Lac del Commune) is a reservoir formed by a hydroelectric dam on the Lualaba River in the Haut-Lomami Province of the southern Democratic Republic of the Congo.

It is about 10 miles (16 km) northeast of the major copper mining area of Kolwezi.

The reservoir was originally named after the Belgian soldier and explorer Alexandre Delcommune.
