Abstract
The Ruzizi River waters management follows from our investigations in 2010-2011 in the case of our masterâs thesis in environment and natural resources on the theme: âThe Importance of Ruzizi Congolese Plain, South Kivu, Democratic Republic of Congo for the Conservation of Birdsâ and 2019-2021 as part of our doctoral thesis on the theme: âThe Significance of Ruzizi Delta: Ruzizi Burundian Delta and Ruzizi Congolese Delta, in the African Great Lakes Region for the Conservation of Birdsâ. These investigations aim to raise the awareness of local, territorial, provincial and national Congolese decision-makers for the creation of a protected area meeting the Ramsar criteria in the Ruzizi Congolese plain/Ruzizi Congolese Delta, for the sustainable conservation of birds and biodiversity. This article informs that the thoughtful partial channeling of part of the waters of the Ruzizi River for irrigation, the creation of fish ponds and pastures away from the 50 m of the bank, would lead to sustainable agricultural, ichthyologic and dairy productivity in the Ruzizi Congolese plain/Ruzizi Congolese Delta.
