Abstract:

The taxonomy of the freshwater crabs living in the rivers draining from the mountains in the eastern Democratic Republic of the Congo and Rwanda into Lake Kivu is revised. Four species are recognized: Potamonautes perparvus (Rathbun, 1921), P. minor Bott, 1955, P. gonocristatus Bott, 1955, and P. semilunaris Bott, 1955. Updated diagnoses, illustrations, and distribution maps are provided for the species. The four species are compared to each other, and an identification key to all eight species found in Lake Kivu and its drainage basin is included.

Abstract:

In total, 28 of the 29 fish species reported from the Lake Kivu basin occur in the littoral zone of the lake, but information about their structure, occurrence, and the habitats affecting their distribution is largely lacking. The lake’s inshore area is poorly heterogenous, with rock and macrophyte habitats representing the major habitats. The lack of heterogeneity in the habitats is probably an important factor influencing species richness, abundance, and the association between the species and habitats. We evaluated the fish diversity, abundance, and habitat parameters across 14 sites repres

Abstract:

The sediment record of Lake Kivu reveals a complex volcanogenic and climatic Holocene history. Investigation of the inorganic carbonate record dates the onset of carbonate deposition in the mid-Holocene in Kivu’s deep northern and eastern basins and identifies conditions enabling deposition. The magnitude and timing of carbonate-rich sedimentation is not so much controlled by climate but, instead, linked strongly to hydrothermal activity in the basin. Sublacustrine springs supply the vast majority of the calcium and carbonate ions required for supersaturation with respect to aragonite. This ma

Abstract:

Rivers often play a vital role in the transport of major natural chemicals entering through a variety of pathways, including atmospheric inputs, chemical weathering of minerals, mechanical erosion of rocks and soil particles, and soil leaching. Increased anthropogenic activities on the shoreline of Lake Kivu combined with existing land use practices may increase changes in river water quality and composition. Knowing the physico-chemical and biological contribution of each tributary of the lake is vital for the management of its biodiversity. This study aimed at determining the physico-chemica

Abstract:

The Yodo River basin consists of three major tributary basins (and other small river basins) namely Uji, Katsura and Kizu, which overlap respectively Shiga, Kyoto and Nara prefectures' administrative areas. Lake Biwa, the largest lake in Japan, drains water through the Uji river. The water quality of the lake, in terms of BOD, continuously improved over the last decade. However, the quality in terms of COD did not show any improvement in spite of a large amount of infrastructure finance being introduced.

A series of ArcGIS-generated maps were applied in analysing the potential for flooding and landslide hazards within the Lake Kivu drainage basin. This study was carried out using digital elevation data of the basin. The Kivu drainage basin encompasses an area of 7,382 km2. Sediment and water supply to Lake Kivu originate mostly from its eastern hinterland. The distribution of land sliding potentiality in the drainage basin shows that the northern and the southern portions of the basin are the ones with relatively low risk of land sliding, whereas the rift shoulders are most prone to land slidi

Lake Kivu is a stratified, meromictic lake bordering Rwanda and the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC).

However, there is a need for continued research on the sustainability and potential ecological effects of cage aquaculture in African lakes and reservoirs.
