  3. 3 #African Cities Restore #Nature to Revitalize Their #Rivers

    "Africa’s cities, from large metropolises to smaller towns, are increasingly characterized by growing #UrbanSprawl. #Kinshasa, Democratic Republic of Congo, is expanding by about 2,000 people and 5 hectares (10 football fields) every day, according to a World Bank estimate. #Kumasi, an intermediary city in #Ghana, is growing more than 5% every year — at least twice as fast as the capital city, Accra.

    As cities and surrounding farmlands expand further into their hinterlands, they encroach upon watersheds essential to water supply and climate resilience.

    Watersheds are the natural area of land that drain into a common body of water. The consequences of their degradation are threefold. Without tree cover and healthy soils to absorb rainfall, cities may lose a critical source for groundwater recharge, leading to water shortages. Not only does the quantity of water suffer, so does its quality. Without strong roots to protect and anchor the soil, sediment and the chemicals within it are washed into nearby water bodies, often the primary source for a city’s drinking water. That same runoff can turn into floodwater.

    How Natural Infrastructure Supports #WaterSecurity.

    Many cities that once depended on their watersheds for water now face both increasing scarcity and heightened vulnerability to #extremeWeather. There are, however, #NatureBasedSolutions to help alleviate these problems.

    Through a combination of upland foresting and urban greening, watershed restoration efforts are starting to deliver positive results in three African cities..."

  8. Le #M23 accuse l’armée #Congolaise d’être responsable, ce que #Kinshasa dément tout en annonçant l’ouverture d’une enquête pour établir l’origine des explosions.

  10. The ‘rape of Africa’ started with the genocidal colonial powers after the Berlin Conference and is maintained by neo-colonial powers who don’t give a toss for the lives of Africans or the abuses of African elites of their own people.

    No real ‘African Solution’ exists but in the minds of civic-minded Africans themselves which cannot be implemented, nor seriously discussed until ‘all’ non-African stop raping the continent and its people.

    But that’s only my opinion, a non-African with absolutely no idea of what it’s really like on the ground. So, what the f^&* do I know?

    The laborers are hauling #coltan ore, a mineral that powers the modern world. The ore will be loaded onto motorbikes & eventually shipped thousands of kilometers away to Asia.

  21. Die verheerenden #Überschwemmungen in #Kinshasa im April 2025 wurden durch fehlende #Infrastruktur und unkontrollierte #Stadtentwicklung begünstigt.

    Versiegelte Flächen, verstopfte Abflüsse und Bebauung in Überschwemmungsgebieten machen die Stadt extrem anfällig. Forschende fordern integriertes #Flutmanagement, bessere #Frühwarnsysteme und klare #Nutzungsregeln für Risikozonen, um Katastrophen künftig zu verhindern.
