Überflutungen machen Unternehmen in Kigali zu schaffen
Kind, Christian 2016: Überflutungen machen Unternehmen in Kigali zu schaffen. In: Ruanda Revue, 2016: 2, 20-22.

In recent years, small businesses in Kigali have repeatedly been affected by flooding. The main reason for this were heavy rainfall and the insufficient sewage infrastructure on the outskirts of the Rwandan capital. The article describes how and to what extent the entrepreneurs have suffered financial losses due to floods and how they are preparing for future flooding. In addition to the measures every entrepreneur can make himself - such as an increase in the entrance threshold or the installation of rainwater tanks - it is also about what all residents in the area can contribute to flood control, for example a proper waste disposal, to keep the open sewage sewers free of waste.
