“…The long-term average annual temperature of the basin is about 24°C [56], and rainfall varies from 1431 to 1515 mm per year [7]. The Kasai River (KAR), with a length of 2153 km, is the mainstream [52], originating from the Munyango headwaters in Angola [44]. The Kwango, Kwilu, and Loange on the left bank of the KAR and Sankuru and Lulua on the right bank are other key rivers in the KARB with an average flow of 2092, 1207, 427, 2500, and 502 m3/s, respectively [51].…”

“…These rivers confluence in Kutu Moke and have an average annual discharge of 8246 m3/s at the outlet [23], see Figure 1. The main hydrometric station in the KARB is the Kutu-Moke covering a drainage area of 750,000 km2, about 20% of the Congo River Basin [44]. The basin's mean annual rainfall, temperature, streamflow discharge, and drainage area are presented in Table 1.…”

“…Hydrological monitoring in the CRB can be traced back to the year 1903, with the implementation of the Kinshasa gauging site. Until the end of 1960, which marks the end of the colonial era for many riparian countries in the basin, more than 400 gauging sites were installed throughout the CRB to provide water level and discharge data (Tshimanga, 2021). It is unfortunate that many of these data could not be accessible to the public interested in hydrological research and water resources management.…”

“…The (sub-)sub-basins of Lualaba show different relationships. The presence of lakes and wetlands, with massive storage capacities like the Bangwelu swamp, the Upemba depression and Lake Tanganyika, greatly influences the flow regime of the downstream sub-basins (41). In the Lualaba-North, the discharge reaches its maximum in November, while in the Lualaba-South and Lualaba-Lukuga the maximum discharge is reached in April-May (18).…”
