- Description: Urban stream syndrome is a growing phenomenon in tropical part of the world. Urban rivers face significant challenges due to pollution induce by anthropogenic activities, exacerbated by population growth and industrialization. The main objective of this study is to develop a generic approach to balance water use and the protection of water quality in urban rivers. Water quality physico-chemical assessments were conducted during the dry and rainy seasons at various points along the N'Djili River and its tributaries. Anthropogenic activities in the surrounding areas were also analyzed to determine water uses from each sampling site. Sites were classified based on their pollution level using multivariate analysis and hierarchical classification into management classes.

- Description: This study focuses on N'Djili River catchment, a vital water source in Kinshasa that undergoes anthropogenic pressure and land use changes. The lower course of the river is particularly affected by uncontrolled urbanization, informal settlements, improper waste management practices, and vegetation degradation. The aim of this study is to determine the relationship between land use and river water quality in this catchment. Water samples were collected for physico-chemical and bacteriological analysis from 10 sampling sites along the river course. Land use categories were determined using Sentinel-2 land cover imageries and buffer scaling techniques. A redundancy analysis (RDA) was conducted to determine the relationship between land use categories and water quality variables.
