## 4 Conclusions and Recommendations  
The approach to this study aids in the review of the Congo River basin. It focuses, to some extent, on the delineation of the Kimbanseke catchment, its geology, hydrology, hydrogeological conditions, topography, formations, soil types, as well as understanding the catchment's water bearing capacity. Thus, this approach was deemed suitable to enable the understanding and analyzing of the Kimbanseke catchment muddled with the impact of urbanization on groundwater. It also provided solutions by designing and implementing an app to monitor groundwater in the capital city (Kinshasa), as well as engaging citizens in the decision-making process. The GIS tool was used to compile spatial analysis by producing maps such as LU/LC Map, description of the Kimbanseke area, which then aided in the development of a conceptual geological model. Additionally, Rockworks 16 was used in terms of the processes that influence groundwater movement and storage. It is necessary to note that the design of this 3D aquifer model allowed us to determine the extension and geometry of each sedimentary unit, indicating that the aquifer system of the Kimbanseke

Furthermore, the results of the four scenarios simulated by increasing groundwater pumping rates by 15, 30 and 60%, with 0% as control information or baseline information, considered as the beginning scenario, showed a further reduction in water subterranean levels of 0.57, 1.131 and 2.267 m, respectively. These findings suggest that if the pumping rate is increased by 60%, the volume of water stored in the Kimbasseke region's aquifer system will fall by 2.267 m compared to the groundwater level simulated from 2015 to 2020. Surfer 16 was used to generate the groundwater flow direction from exporting the pumping scenario from GIS which serves as a guiding tool to policy makers. Lastly, the app was designed using the ArcGIS AppStudio and tested on the Kimbasseke catchment where a map of the 39 boreholes was generated. The advantages of using information and communications technology, as it makes use of the Internet of Things in real time, is limitless. For example, 3D innovation can deal with substantial informational indexes. It is current and stylish and is a cutting-edge data-gathering system for use by groundwater user clients or groundwater specialist organizations. Furthermore, the system provides real-time updates and early warning signals to groundwater management. The innovative element of technology's primary output and potential commercial value is that they will contribute to new knowledge in the development of a groundwater sustainability framework that supports an ICT improved groundwater monitoring system. The sustainability framework uses physical and subjective techniques, and the sustainability framework/index evaluates variables easily. The solution takes the form of a generic early warning system (EWS) consisting of four components: namely, (1) gathering the risk knowledge; (2) monitoring and predicting the situation; (3) communicating the warning messages; and (4) responding to the warning. The research aim was, therefore, to develop an app to improve our understanding of groundwater based hydrological and ecosystem processes that will enable efficient management and decision-making in groundwater resources management. The plan and methodology are bolstered by Android innovation and Java programming. Man-made consciousness (such as AI) was used to depict the figuring worldview of an ICT-based framework, whose arrangements mirror human learning, recognition and dissudating the point of taking care of complex issues. Going forward, two primary AI procedures that influence everything in this groundwater monitoring framework, ANNs and canny specialists, were used.
