The mutation of spaces observed in the Katangese Copper Belt (KCB) causes significant topographical changes. Some colonial geodetic markers are easily noticeable on many of the hills making up the KCB. These hills are subject to mining which ruins the completeness of the network of triangulations: geometric and trigonometric Katangese. In order to...

The current global context of climate change requires us to know the extreme probable limits of certain components of the water balance, in particular evapotranspiration, the agricultural deficit, the surplus water in the soil, … in woodland anthropogenic environments like Lubumbashi Region (28°29’ E, 11°35’ S, 1298 m of altitude). In the Lubumbash...

Temperature variations during the day may be classified into five thermal cycle types. Differences result from cloudiness and rain occurrence whose effects are: a) slow temperature evolution when cloudiness is high b) a fall in temperature in relation to important showers c) an isothermal evolution due to long rains of low intensity. -English summa...

The intensity of rains recorded during a period of three years, is studied with the help of diagrams where intensity-duration-probability, intensity-duration-frequency and also intensity-duration-frequency of heavy precipitations have been drawn. The last is compared with the curves of other stations which belong to subtropical, extratropical regio...
