The official mandate of the � Centre de Recherche Geographique et de Production Cartographique � (CERGEC) of Brazzaville is to produce and update the topographic maps of Congo. The Center also keeps the archive of the IGN aerial photos. In the context of the � Projet de Gestion et de Conservation des Aires Protegees � (PROGECAP), funded by the GEF, the CERGEC has developed its GIS and Remote Sensing Processing capacities to support field surveys of its partners (IUCN, WCS, ...). In addition, the Center uses RADAR data to map vegetation in the southern part of Congo and has started digitizing the existing 1 : 200,00 scale topographic maps. -----Original Message----- From: Willy Mwamba [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Sunday, February 27, 2005 9:17 AM To: [email protected] Subject: [microhydro] Topographic digital maps of the Dem. Rep. of Congo
Dear sirs, I am heading an engineering and design group called HydroForce. Our office has been elected by the Ministry of Energy of the Democratic Republic of Congo to run a study of electrification of the rural areas using mini hydro power. The big problem we are being faced with is the fact that there are no topographic maps of the Congo scaled 1/5000 to 1/10000 wich we can use to locate and select a site for the pilot projet. We are not able to start the study because we are lacking important data like Head and Flow. A trip to Congo is at the moment impossible because of the insecurity in the region. Can someone tell me where I can find in internet digital topographic maps of this country? Your urgent help will be very much appreciated. Willy L.
