Muamba, Malick (2026): Transformation des déchets aquatiques post-pluie en énergie verte : une stratégie d’économie bleue pour l’assainissement durable des rivières Kalamu et Lukunga. Published in: Revue Communauté et Développement Durale , Vol. Vol.1, No. N°1 (31 March 2026): pp. 45-58.

Abstract

The article shows how post-rainfall aquatic waste from the Kalamu and Lukunga rivers can be transformed into green energy. Based on the blue economy and the Transformation Management Model, this approach reduces flooding, recovers waste and involves communities in sustainable sanitation.
