Abstract Understanding temporal variability in groundwater levels is essential for water resources management. In sub‐Saharan Africa, level dynamics are poorly constrained due to limited long‐term observations. Here, we present the first published analysis of at national scale using 12 multidecadal (ca. 1980s present) hydrographs Burkina Faso. For each hydrograph, developed lumped parameter models which achieved acceptable calibrations (NSE = 0.5–0.99). eight sites not showing significant (...
We use two comprehensively instrumented field observatories to understand groundwater recharge processes in African drylands. The are located on crystalline basement geology semi-arid parts of Ghana and Burkina Faso, aridity indices 0.43 0.29, respectively, we report 2017–2019 observations. Groundwater was quantified by inverse water table fluctuation models using specific yield estimates derived from magnetic resonance soundings. Evidence for drivers mechanisms comes high resolution...
This study aims to characterize water table fluctuations and estimate groundwater recharge in the Tougou catchment located Sahel zone of Burkina Faso. Water fluctuation budget approaches are developed on an experimental site equipped with observation wells. The trends different layers weathering profile similar. There is a time-lag response daily precipitation occurrences. interaction between upper (clayey alteration) lower (transition zone-fractured schist complex) parts shows that...
Granting safe water access worldwide is a major objective of the Sustainable Development Goals. Water manifold concept that encompasses collection time, distance from household, quality, affordability, and reliability sources, among other factors. GIS-based methods can be particularly useful in improving estimates, rural areas developing countries. Based on an extensive point database (n = 770), this paper explores main challenges involved mapping two communes Burkina Faso. estimated terms...
Land along the Bomboré River in rural commune of Mogtédo Burkina Faso is experiencing degradation. The explanatory causes this degradation constitute subject study. To do this, a survey was conducted among agricultural producers deployed watercourse. Soil profiles were described and samples taken to analyze pH, soil organic carbon, matter, total nitrogen, texture. RUSLE model approach based on landstat8 OLI/TIRS SRTM satellite images dated December 17, 2021 with fairly good radiometric,...
Groundwater quality assessment is critical for achieving Sustainable Development Goal 6 (SDG-6), which aims to ensure the availability and sustainable management of water sanitation all. In Burkina Faso, groundwater a vital natural resource supporting socio-economic development, particularly in arid semi-arid regions where scarcity are significant challenges. Climatic conditions country made long, hot dry season followed by short rainy period, result considerable variability availability....
This study focused on the suitability of using an urban river for irrigation vegetable crops. The relevant is Houet located in city Bobo-Dioulasso (Burkina Faso) receives wastewater released by a treatment and purification unit (WWTP). To do this, diagnosis functioning WWTP assessment quality effluents were indeed carried out. treats from industries, households percolating water city's sewage sludge. Water has poor physico-chemical high microbiological pollution. was out taking 8 samples...
