Need to prevent erosion, enhance ground water 22.5.2013 Financial Chronicle
In life and in death, rivers are an integral part of the human story. Mankind has thrived and civilizations have prospered around them for centuries on end. Be it the Nile or the Ganges, their holy water is said to have blessed many a soul. Besides us humans, there are many other inhabitants for whom the river is a source of shelter, food and conducive habitat. Like some egg-laying species such as fish, crocodiles, birds and amphibians. An egg being most vulnerable stage in their life cycle, these creatures prefer to lay them around or in the river. Many factors control the growth of these species, they may be natural which are uncontrollable and man-made which we can work on.

DR Congo waits on funding for Grand Inga 21.5.2013 Guardian: Environment

French, Belgian, Chinese, Brazilian and African engineers have, over 60 years, all hoped to dam the Congo.
