Possible Confusion

• Loa River (Chile): There is a Loa River in Chile (South America)—the longest river in Chile (~440 km), flowing through the Atacama Desert. It does relate to a South American desert.

If you meant the Chilean Loa River: it crosses the Atacama, supports mining/agriculture, and ends at the Pacific. The Zambian Loa is unrelated to deserts.
