The review discusses the advancements in vermifiltration research over last decade, focusing on pollution removal mechanisms, system performance, fate of filter components, and by-products. Vermifiltration has demonstrated remarkable capabilities, particularly treating highly contaminated wastewater with Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD) levels exceeding 92,000 mg/L Biochemical (BOD5) 25,000 mg/L, achieving rates approximately 89% 91%, respectively. Importantly, maintains its effectiveness even...

Abstract Rural development in the Sudano‐Sahelian region during past 20 years and future scenarios of change were studied using meta‐analysis case studies, household interviews scenario assessment. Households have generally increased their wealth, especially when they diversify out agriculture. Rain‐fed crop cultivation is more sensitive to climate factors than livestock, but play a limited direct role for local land use livelihood strategies. The agricultural sector needs strong support...
<p>This study highlights the perception and option value of climate information in sahelian sudano-sahelian agro-climatic zones Burkina Faso. From sampled farmers only 21.78% have access to information, while 93% them need guide through their decision planning agricultural activities. Option shows interest granted by using information. About 64% are willing pay an average Francs CFA 546.34 obtain The willingness is determined farmers’ ability predict climate, use radio as a means...
Supplemental irrigation based on runoff harvesting is a sustainable solution in the current context of water scarcity that prevalent Sahelian countries. Runoff ponds (RWHPs) are increasingly being utilized for vegetable cultivation by producers. This study aims to analyze cropping choices producers benefiting from RWHPs Kadiogo and Bazèga provinces Burkina Faso West African Sahel. A sample 27 surveyed revealed dominant preference crops (93.46% total production) over cereals. The influenced...
Abstract Background Dry spells are serious obstacles to rainfed agriculture in Sahelian countries. Various water harvesting techniques used by farmers reduce the impact of climate variability, but not sufficient case a prolonged drought lasting 2–3 weeks. The believe supplemental irrigation is good way adapt dry spells. In this study, we evaluated food contribution and profitability crops comparing various farm ponds that collect runoff from surrounding landscape. Methods We analyzed...
Specific consumption is a key parameter in estimating the water demand and further optimising sizing of Drinking Water Supply Systems (DWSS) infrastructure. DWSS are globally used to provide safe drinking urban rural settings, their design cost critical for authorities, especially low-income countries. In this study, optimal specific value carried out Burkina Faso (West Africa). The methodology adopted statistical analysis operational data collected on 40 systems Faso, completed by multiple...
Obtaining accurate values of saturated hydraulic conductivity (Ksat) is very important for managing all natural or artificial processes involving water flow into soils. Double-ring infiltration (DRI) one the easiest-to-work-with techniques commonly used Ksat determination. Unfortunately, when improperly used, it leads to variations and inaccurate results. This study was designed investigate necessary conditions reach true-value real-world (Ksat-real-world) in field. For this purpose, effects...
Abstract The main objective of this paper is to address the following question: are containment measures imposed by most world governments effective and sufficient stop epidemic COVID-19 beyond lock-down period? In paper, we propose a mathematical model which allows us investigate analyse problem. We show means reproductive number, ${\cal R}_0$ that appear have slowed growth outbreak. Nevertheless, these remain only as long very large fraction population, p , greater than critical value...
We propose a metapopulation model for malaria with two control variables, treatment and prevention, distributed between n different patches (localities). Malaria spreads these localities through human travel. used the theory of optimal applied mathematical three connected patches. From previous studies same data, were identified as reservoirs infection, namely, that sustain epidemic in other argue to reduce number infections semi‐immunes (i.e., asymptomatic carriers parasites) overall...
This study aimed at characterizing dry spells and their potential impact in corn rainfed agriculture the Burkinabe Sahel order to help managers of rural environments better plan growing season this area characterized by high climatic variability. characterization was made possible through a typology intra-dekadal an inter-dekadal analysis with first-order Markov chains, allowed proposing mitigation alternative effect on growing. Results showed that risk which arises for production is reduced...

We extend an ordinary differential equation (ODE) model for the meningococcal meningitis disease to a partial (PDE). This extension istwofold: (i) consideration of two modes contamination, namely through direct transmission (human human) and indirect (via free‐living bacteria). (ii) human movement dispersal bacteria in heterogeneous environment. Furthermore we show existence solutions define basic reproduction number model. Additionally, stability both disease‐free endemic equilibria were...
Water control is a major problem in crop production, particularly fragile ecosystems such as the Sahel. most important factor plant productivity. Many initiatives have been developed this direction, including all methods of irrigation and water soil conservation.
