Article
Full-text available
In this study, we simulated and analyzed the impacts of a retention basin as a hydraulic structure for mitigating flood peaks at the inlet of a stormwater drainage canal using the Storage Indication Curve method for various return periods. The adopted methodology involved modeling the hydraulic behavior of the retention basin and its discharge rela...
Article
Full-text available
The basement aquifers in Burkina Faso are increasingly exposed to groundwater pollution, largely due to socio-economic activities and climatic fluctuations, particularly the reduction in rainfall. This pollution makes the management and understanding of these aquifers particularly complex. To elucidate the processes controlling this contamination,...
Article
Full-text available
In Burkina Faso, human activities around water points in rural areas affect groundwater resources, which become unfit for consumption. Nearly 33.5% of boreholes are subject to point source pollution. The assessment of the evolution of such pollution should be monitored to assess groundwater quality. In addition, withdrawals for irrigation alone are...
Article
Full-text available
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) is one of the easiest-to-work-with techniques commonly used for Ksat determination. Unfortunately, when improperly used, it leads to important variati...

Specific consumption is a key parameter in estimating the water demand and further optimise the sizing of Drinking Water Supply Systems (DWSS) infrastructures. DWSS are globally used to provide safe drinking water in urban and rural settings, and their design cost is critical for water authorities, especially in low-income countries. In this study,...
Article
Full-text available
In the context of low rainfall, groundwater abstraction is the main source of water, especially in rural areas. For better water management, a good knowledge of water resources is necessary. The Cascades region depends, like most regions, on the use of groundwater, especially in rural areas. However, this region has been subject to a strong anthrop...
Article
Full-text available
In Burkina Faso, the basement aquifers represent a major asset in terms of quantity and quality, for both drinking and irrigation purposes for rural populations. They provide water resources that can guarantee the long-term needs of the populations, provided that a sustainable management policy for these resources is adopted. Yet, any groundwater r...
Article
Full-text available
In Burkina Faso, groundwater in hard rock aquifers represents a major asset for the rural populations. But this water is subject to anthropic and natural pollutions as is the case with the sub-watershed of Sissili for which few studies are available. Therefore, it is appropriate to follow their state of pollution. This study aims at a physicochemic...
