本文描述了维多利亚湖、斯蒂芬妮湖、图尔卡纳湖和奈瓦沙湖在过去两个世纪中的波动情况。维多利亚湖的年表可追溯到公元 700 年。这些年表主要基于当地人民的口头传统（如各种历史资料中所述）以及欧洲游客、定居者和探险家的报告。在某些情况下，已经报告了实际的历史水平。历史波动与现代记录相结合，提供了直到二十世纪末湖水位波动的图景。
This paper describes the fluctuations of Lakes Victoria, Stefanie, Turkana and Naivasha over the last two centuries. A chronology of Lake Victoria back to 700 A.D. is also developed. These chronologies are based mainly on oral traditions of the local peoples, as described in various historical sources, and on reports of European visitors, settlers and explorers. In some cases actual historical levels have been reported. The historical fluctuations are meshed with the modern record to provide a picture of the fluctuations in lake levels until the late twentieth century.
