Overview

It originates from Buhweju hills with various tributaries from various Nkore hills including Ntungamo and Sheema hills which join it. It pours its water in Lake Victoria via the drainage systems of Lake Mburo, Lake Kachera and Kijanebalola.

River Rwizi supplies water for both domestic and industrial use to the whole Mbarara town and the neighbouring towns of Bwizibwera, Sanga and Biharwe.

The river is drying out due to climate changes affecting the region.
