A ferry with an unknown number of passengers has capsized in Lake Victoria.

The boat popularly known as Water Bus is said to have been plying the Mageta Island—Usenge beach route in Siaya County when the incident occurred.

Sources say the boat could have been hit by strong winds and high tides partly attributed to rising water levels of Lake Victoria.

A rescue mission is currently underway, coordinated by local administration and beach management units.

Today we saw the introduction of okiyaring as a word.
So lemme try some uaviator.....

Why are water levels in lake Victoria rising yet it has an outlet?
Shouldn't the excess water simply be flowing out through the Nile?

Where did you read about water level rising? Even then, your logic would be flawed; if all the rivers that flow into the nile all have high water, the few rivers that flow out (Nile) could also be unable to take all the extra water, hence rising levels.

I wasn't trying to apply any logic, I said I was trying some uaviator.
As for rising water levels who else is better suited you hear it from than your long time 'friend'.

There are advanced plans to have a drain tunnel from lake Victoria to Lake Turkana, with some sump tanks along the way, to be used provide water to the pastrolist community.
Donors of the project already sourced from Romania, and the lead contractor is being single sources from Lesotho
