Hydrographie lineaire de Congo (linear hydrogaphy of Congo)

Jan 11, 2011 (Last modified May 15, 2011)
Description:
Les données concernant l’hydrographie sont équivalentes d’une base à l’autre. Les données origine sont issues des fichiers transmis par SPIAF (Inventaire forestier). Pour les cours d’eau linéaire la base originelle était plus détaillée dans les fichiers SPIAF que les fichiers MONUC. C’est donc celle-ci qui a servi de référence. Par la suite la MONUC a transmis une base de meilleure qualité, contenant plus de cours d’eau et d’informations sur les toponymes et le type d’écoulement.Certain tronçons de rivières ont été digitalisé (mise à jour) sur image satellite par UNDP dans les provinces de Kinshasa, du Bas-Congo,du Katanga, Maniema, Nord et Sud-Kivu.

The data concerning hydrography are equivalent from one database to another. These data originate from SPIAF transmissions (Forest Inventory). For the linear waterways, the original data base was more detailed in the SPIAF data than in MONUC, therefore, these were used as a reference. The suite of data transmitted by MONUC was of better quality as it contained, in addition to waterways, information about toponomy and flow type. Certain river segments were digitized from UNDP satellite images in the province of Kinshasa, lower Congo, Katanga, Maniema and North and South Kivu.
