The Belgian Government has requested a loan of US$28 million equivalent for the further development of roads, ports and waterways in the Belgian Congo. ii. The road project, which would complement the road project of Loan 184-BE of November 1957, is for the construction,reconstruction and improvementof a) 1,963 km. of roads comprising farm-to-marketcon- nections, links between regional centers, and feeder roads to river ports and railheads; b) 2,837 km. of pioneer roads for agriculture; and c) ancillaryworks of bridges and ferries. The estimated cost is Cfr. 1,574 million (includinga 15% allowance for contingencies)equivalent to US$31.5 million, of which the foreign exchange componentfor equip- ment, materials and services of US&20.5 million equivalent. The pro- ject should be completedbefore the end of 1962. iii. The port and waterway project is for the constructionand improvementof a number of ports, the acquisition of equipment to deepen and maintain navigable chanmels - particularly in the Congo estuary approaches to Matadi - and for additional navigation aids in the form of beacon lights, etc. The estimated cost is Cfr. 508.3 million (in- cluding a 15% allowance for contingencies) equivalent to US$10.1 million, of which the foreign currency component for equipment, materials and services is US$IP7.5million equivalent. The project should be completed by the end of 1961. iv. Planning, design and supervisionof execution of the works in the projects would be performed by the experiencedstaffs of the Road Division and the Service of Navigation and Waterways of the Congofs Public Works Department. Major works would be carried out by contract awarded on the basis of international competitive bidding. v, The vast transportnetwork of the Belgian Congo is based on a river-rail system, using the navigable stretches of the Congo and Kasai Rivers as the nain arteries, and their tributaries and the railroads as feeder lines. The principal function of this system has been to trans- port exports and imports. The focal points of this trade are the ocean port of Matadi and the capital city of Leopoldville, both situated on the Congo River. Roads are a relative newcomer to this system. In addition to service for exports, their function is to provide access to local consumption centers for the supply of foodstuffs, and to open up the country to agricultural development, including in some instances population resettlerment. vi. Expansion and improvementof the Congo's road, port and water- way network is necessary to implement the developmentprograms now under way and in planning, and for realizationof the full benefits which they should bring. In particular, the success of agricultural programs for increasing cash crops, for land settlerent and other developmental works, is largely dependent on completion of the road project. Economic justi- fication for a number of the individual projects could be found in the immediate reduction in the cost of transportation. However, of greater importanceis the fact that the 75% of the populationwhich derives its livelihoodfrom agriculture,will be given the means to improve its oconomic and social status. ii vii. The project is sound. It is suitable for a Bank loan of US$28 million equivalent. An appropriate term would be 12 years including a grace period of three years. The borrower would be the Belgian Congo. BELGIANICONGO APP?A1SAI OF THE ROAD, PORT AND-WATENJAY PROJECTS I. INTRODUCTION 1. The Belgian Government has asked the Bank to provide financial assistancein the amount of US$ 28 million equivalentto further the dev- elopment of the transportationsystem of the Belgian Congo. This amount divided: ; 20.5 million for roads; $ 7.5 million for ports and waterways, representsthe estimated cost of imported equipment,materials and serv- ices over a constructionperiod of approximately 4 years. 2. The borrower woid d be the Belgian Congo, the guarantor the King- dom of Belgium. 3. This report discusses and assesses the works for which the loan has been requested. It is based on field studies made by a Bank mission which visited the Congo in M4ayand June 1959. 4. In NTovember1957, Loan No. 184-BE for ' 140 million equivalent was made to the Belgian Congo for a project of road constructionand im- provement. The execution of road works in this project is proceeding satisfactorily. II. THE TRANSPORT SYSTEM OF THE CONGO 5. -vaien the economic development of the Congo started at the begin- ning of the present centuriy a transport network was built up primarily for the export of the agriculturaland mineral wealth, most of it located deep in the interior of the Congo, notably copper and other metals from the Katanga, and for the importationof machinery,equipment, other manu- factured goods and building materials. This network was based on river transport on the Congo and Kasai Rivers. ijth the subsequent economic growth of the Congo, the network was gradually extended and improved, a process which is still going on. 6. The backbone of the present network is still the river-rail transport system formed by the navigable stretches of the Congo and Kasai Rivers, with parallel railroads where they are not navigable. The total length of the navigable waterways part of this system is 2,646 km. and of the railroads 491 km. This river-railnetwork connects the ocean port of IIatadi,with a number of railroad lines of a total length of 4,350 km., and with a large number of navigable river tributariesof a total length of about 9,000 km., which penetrate further into the interior. 7. Goods have to be trans-shippedrepeatedly from rail to river and vice-versa, and even on the rivers from large barges to small barges, to accommodatethe characteristicsof thnerivers concerned. - 2 - 8, Roads are newcomers in the transport system of the Congo, though it should be borne in mind that even the oldest railroad, which is from Matadi to leopoldville, was only completed in 1898. Before the wrr of 1939-1945 there were practically only pioneer roads built by hand, and these were generally little better than trails. The subsequent growth ef the road network in the Congo is closely associated with the spreading of cash crops into the interior and the steady growth of an internal e- conomiy and of internal traffic. Its main significance is still local and supplementary to the river-rail system. There are no long-distance trunk roads in the Congo and the function of the roads, both existing and planned, is still limited to feeding local production into the river-rail system, prcviding- access to local consumption centers for the supply of foodstuffs, and opening up the country. IR!ost of the road network is form- ed by seasonal earth roads and even now, after the completionof the First Ten-Year Program, the Congo boasts no more than 1,000 km of paved roads in a total area of 2.3 million sq. km. The entire road network has a low density: 6.19 km of road per 100 sq. kIciand 10.64 km per 1,000 inhabit- ants (see Table 1). 9. The transport industry has a clearly defined structure which may be briefly describedas follows: i) Four large companies, one of them governmentowned, operate the river-railnetwork already described. They carry a very large share of the Belgian Congo traffic, comprising export, import and local. ii) A small number of fairly large road-transportcompanies, which cooperate closely with the companiesmentioned above, and which move export goods to the river ports and railheads, distribute imported goods, and carry local trade. iii) A substantial number of small firms, mostly European, that run reg- ular services on much smaller networks, using smaller truck fleets.

  • Climatic Effects on Lake Basins. Part I: Modeling Tropical Lake Levels
    15 JUNE 2011 R I C K O E T A L . 2983 Climatic Effects on Lake Basins. Part I: Modeling Tropical Lake Levels MARTINA RICKO AND JAMES A. CARTON Department of Atmospheric and Oceanic Science, University of Maryland, College Park, College Park, Maryland CHARON BIRKETT Earth System Science Interdisciplinary Center, University of Maryland, College Park, College Park, Maryland (Manuscript received 28 December 2009, in final form 9 December 2010) ABSTRACT The availability of satellite estimates of rainfall and lake levels offers exciting new opportunities to estimate the hydrologic properties of lake systems. Combined with simple basin models, connections to climatic variations can then be explored with a focus on a future ability to predict changes in storage volume for water resources or natural hazards concerns. This study examines the capability of a simple basin model to estimate variations in water level for 12 tropical lakes and reservoirs during a 16-yr remotely sensed observation period (1992–2007). The model is constructed with two empirical parameters: effective catchment to lake area ratio and time delay between freshwater flux and lake level response. Rainfall datasets, one reanalysis and two satellite-based observational products, and two radar-altimetry-derived lake level datasets are explored and cross checked. Good agreement is observed between the two lake level datasets with the lowest correlations occurring for the two small lakes Kainji and Tana (0.87 and 0.89). Fitting observations to the simple basin model provides a set of delay times between rainfall and level rise ranging up to 105 days and effective catchment to lake ratios ranging between 2 and 27.

Despite the resumption of classes, some cannot go to school every day. Many have not been able to go back at all. We wish you a lot of courage, whatever your situation is. We hope you can keep the desire to learn. In this letter, we want to share with you the messages that we received from children from different countries. They tell us about how each one does their part to take care of others and of the planet, like the hummingbird, bringing water droplets to the great fire. "I look after you. You look after me." ; is the message that stood out from their reflections and their actions. Another theme in their messages was the water that surrounds them in their everyday life. You will discover children living by rivers, lakes and seas who know very well that every single one of their actions, as simple as they might seem, can impact their community. We hope that their messages can inspire you and that you can yourself be committed, wherever you are.

  • Out of Lake Tanganyika: Endemic Lake Fishes Inhabit Rapids of the Lukuga River
    355 Ichthyol. Explor. Freshwaters, Vol. 22, No. 4, pp. 355-376, 5 figs., 3 tabs., December 2011 © 2011 by Verlag Dr. Friedrich Pfeil, München, Germany – ISSN 0936-9902 Out of Lake Tanganyika: endemic lake fishes inhabit rapids of the Lukuga River Sven O. Kullander* and Tyson R. Roberts** The Lukuga River is a large permanent river intermittently serving as the only effluent of Lake Tanganyika. For at least the first one hundred km its water is almost pure lake water. Seventy-seven species of fish were collected from six localities along the Lukuga River. Species of cichlids, cyprinids, and clupeids otherwise known only from Lake Tanganyika were identified from rapids in the Lukuga River at Niemba, 100 km from the lake, whereas downstream localities represent a Congo River fish fauna. Cichlid species from Niemba include special- ized algal browsers that also occur in the lake (Simochromis babaulti, S. diagramma) and one invertebrate picker representing a new species of a genus (Tanganicodus) otherwise only known from the lake. Other fish species from Niemba include an abundant species of clupeid, Stolothrissa tanganicae, otherwise only known from Lake Tangan- yika that has a pelagic mode of life in the lake. These species demonstrate that their adaptations are not neces- sarily dependent upon the lake habitat. Other endemic taxa occurring at Niemba are known to frequent vegetat- ed shore habitats or river mouths similar to the conditions at the entrance of the Lukuga, viz. Chelaethiops minutus (Cyprinidae), Lates mariae (Latidae), Mastacembelus cunningtoni (Mastacembelidae), Astatotilapia burtoni, Ctenochromis horei, Telmatochromis dhonti, and Tylochromis polylepis (Cichlidae). The Lukuga frequently did not serve as an ef- fluent due to weed masses and sand bars building up at the exit, and low water levels of Lake Tanganyika.
