The flooded areas depends on the manometric height of the dam 30m (415-383) 35m (420-383) 40m (425-383) 45m (430-383) (made by Yves Malongo)
(40m seems the best, the flooded area near Kisangani upstream of the dam can be limited by the construction of a dike)
The local enhancement of the iron deposit will finance the development of the
whole Province

•
An hydroelectric dam (or 3 dams) will be built to produce 2000MW
•
This dam will connect the two banks of the rivers by a road and a railway.
•
The river Congo & Lualaba between Kisangani and Kindu,will be navigable
•
A steel plant will be built along the river to reduce iron ore:
o
by DRI/H2 with hydrogen produced by electrolysis;
o
by DRI/CH4 with gas from Lake Kivu.
•
The steel produced will be transported by barge down the Congo River
•
Rehabilitation of the Kisangani cement plant
