In this study, we have established the relationship between the seasons and the rate of flow of the Congo river during two periods of observations, the first from 1990 to 1999 and the second period from 2000 to 2009. It was observed a pluviometrical increase form the first period to the second. This fact should be correlated to the climate change characterized by the dry and wet seasons associated with low water and flood periods, respectively. This climate change has a real impact on temperature which is increasing.
Author Keywords: Climate change, Flow, Low water, Floods, Season.

Abstract
In this study, we have established the relationship between the seasons and the rate of flow of the Congo river during two periods of observations, the first from 1990 to 1999 and the second period from 2000 to 2009. It was observed a pluviometrical increase form the first period to the second. This fact should be correlated to the climate change characterized by the dry and wet seasons associated with low water and flood periods, respectively. This climate change has a real impact on temperature which is increasing.

Abstract: (french)
Nous avons dans ce travail établi une corrélation entre les saisons et les débits du Fleuve Congo durant deux décades d’observations, soit de 1990 à 1999 et de 2000 à 2009. Il a été observé une augmentation pluviométrique de la première décade par rapport à la deuxième décade. Ce fait pourrait être lié sans doute au changement climatique caractérisé par des saisons sèches et pluvieuses associées respectivement à des périodes des étiages et des crues au niveau du fleuve Congo. Ce changement climatique a un impact réel sur la température qui connait déjà une certaine augmentation.
Author Keywords: changement climatique, débit, étiage, crue, saison.
