Abstract: The water supply in the outlying zones of the city of Kinshasa is becoming a worrying problem these days because the population living in these zones suffer from lack of water or even from poor quality water from well drilling. The problem is that the engineers who do the drilling do not carry out geophysical studies before proceeding to drill in the earth's crust in order to make the right choice of the potential water reservoir located in the deep layers of the earth. Thus, this present work will help to locate, in the city of Menkao, the layer containing a good reservoir of water thanks to the AIDU Prospecting device which is a cutting-edge technology currently in the field of water prospecting. The choice of the pump that will bring the water up to the tank located at a certain distance above the ground will depend on the power required for the pumping, the actual flow rate and the total head of the installation.
