Partnership

During the last decade, several studies on the water resources of the Congo Basin have been carried out by the team of researchers based at the Department of Natural Resources Management of the Faculty of Agricultural Sciences, for the implementation of collaborative research activities. aimed at new discoveries and improving knowledge on the dynamics of water resources in order to support management strategies. Such activities were carried out with the support of :
