Évaluation comparée de la pollution des rivières Kahuwa et Mpungwe par l'utilisation des macroinvertébrés benthiques

The environmental disturbances due to human activities increase in many countries and draw away various types of water pollutions. These pollutions are important and cause a serious regional and local problem in public health. In Bukavu and the surrounding areas, there are enough aquatic systems whi...

In order to estimate the impact of human activities on the water quality within rivers, this study was carried out in the Kahuwa river, located in Bukavu, urban area, and Mpungwe river, located in rural area, so far at 20 Km of Bukavu. The physico-chemical and biological parameters from 7 sampling sites of both rivers (4 in the Kahuwa river and 3 in the Mpungwe river) was assessed in-situ and in the laboratory of the Lwiro Research Centre in Natural Sciences, Democratic Republic of Congo.

The physico-chemical parameters reach from upstream to downstream in both rivers Kahuwa and Mpungwe.

The organic pollution is intensified by anthropogenic used. In general the physico-chemical water quality parameters show a significant difference (p <0,05). The major sources of the high levels of nutrients are in general the waste dumping, the mechanical erosion of rocks and soil particles due to agriculture blocks, the septic hole, the domestic sewers and industrial effluents in the water bodies, which are not regulated. The taxanomic diversity presents fewer species in Kahuwa river (14) than Mpungwe river (31). The difference is significant between both rivers (p <0,001) as regards species richness.
