Karuma Falls is the location of Karuma Power Station, the largest hydropower project in Uganda with a planned capacity of 600 megawatts. The coordinates of Karuma Falls are 2° 14' 3.00"N, 32° 14' 47.00"E (latitude: 2.234167; longitude: 32.246390). The average elevation is about 1,000 metres (3,300 ft) above sea level.
