Abstract
126 words
This study aims at mapping changes in landuse in the Lake
Tanganyika micro-catchments in the Democratic Republic of
Congo. It also aimed at assessing the level of pollution of L.
Tanganyika resulting from offloaded material and nutrients from
these rivers draining into the lake from the mico-catchments.
Preliminary results showed that forest cover decreased
significantly over time in favour of grasslands with scattered
trees. The three micro-catchments loose considerable amount
of sediments and nutrients annually. These unfortunately end
up into the lake and may compromise the quality of its water
and aquatic life therein. This therefore calls for establishment
of means to maintain adequate forest cover in the microcatchment,
create awareness within communities in the microcatchment
about the risk of environmental degradation and its
mitigation measures.
