ABSTRACT

The Nyong River is situated in south Cameroon. The study of the impact of climate change on the water resource of the River shows that its precipitations and flow rate are decreasing. This negative effect is reinforcing by the fact that the water of the River is collected to feed the population of Yaoundé, the political capital of Cameroon and its environs. Given that no action can stop the variability of climate factors, it is necessary to ameliorate the management of water resource of Nyong River.
