Death in the congo

Hydrosphere

During the wet season, which typically occurs from October to April, the basin receives heavy rainfall. This rainfall is a primary driver of flooding in the region.

wetlands play a crucial role in regulating water flow and mitigating floods by acting as natural reservoirs. However, changes in land use, such as deforestation and drainage, can alter the functioning of these wetlands and increase the risk of flooding.

Floods Cause Sedimentation and Erosion

Atmosphere

Thunderstorms are common in the Congo Basin, especially during the wet season. These atmospheric phenomena can generate intense rainfall over localized areas, leading to flash flooding in river basins and low-lying areas.

climate change on flooding in the region are complex and may vary, there is concern that rising global temperatures could exacerbate existing flood risks.

Much of the Congo Basin features flat or gently sloping terrain, which can exacerbate flooding by allowing water to spread out over large areas.

Deforestation and land use changes, particularly in the Congo Basin's rainforests, can alter natural drainage patterns and increase the risk of flooding.
