Mauritania
Rivers Of Mauritania
The North African country of Mauritania consists largely of the vast Sahara Desert, but a series of rivers in its southern region provide a critical water source and much of the country's arable land. One river, the Senegal, is among the most critical rivers to the region. The others are smaller tributaries that have helped spur the development of small nearby towns.
