==Rivers==

The Koda River is formed by the junction of several rivers in the farmlands south and southwest of Kpandroma, at an altitude of about 2050 m.  Two major streams<!--UkRiver6,UkRiver7--> join at 2.031205, 30.902533,<!--forming UkRiver5--> then a third one<--UkRiver4--> joins from the west at 2.022366, 30.903739, and a smaller one<!--UkRiver3--> from the east at 2.017272, 30.906828.  The river runs mostly level and southward until about 2.000992, 30.904248, when, at about 2000 m altitude, it starts flowing down the steep slopes of the plateau, in a general southwest direction.  At 2.000537, 30.904348 it splts into two branches, and rejoins at 1.999730, 30.904429, forming a spindle-shaped island 90 m long and 20 m wide at the middle.  At 1.999674, 30.909551 it is held by a small dam (Koda Dam according to Laudisoit) Descending from the plateu, it runs at the bottom of the Bai valley, about 5 km long and 1.5 km wide. It is joined by other rivers at 1.994113, 30.919411 <!--UkRiver10--> (from the north), at 1.987828, 30.924196 <!--UkRiver15--> from NNE, at 1.985915, 30.925493<!--UkRiver2--> (from the west), and at 1.979665, 30.931192<!--UkRiver8--> (from northeast). It then runs SSW to 1.976686, 30.930446, then south to 1.969348, 30.931992, then  SW to 1.952453, 30.918842, where it meets another river<!--UkRiver11--> coming from NNW.<!--Result is UkRiver12-->

The Lendu plateau is roughly a rectangle 50 wide and  km, with the long axis in the SW-NE direction.  Its approximate corners are 1.64, 30.52, 15 km south of [[Droro, Dr. R. Congo|Droro]], 1.98, 30.24, 30 km west of [[Djugu, D. R. Congo|Djugu]], 2.47, 30.81, 30 km west of [[Nebbi, D. R. Congo|Nebbi]], and 2.15, 31.12, 10 km south of [[Niarembe, D. R. Congo|Niarembe]]. 
The northeast edge of the plateau roughly coincides with the DRC-[[Uganda]] border.
