Quantification of soil deep drainage and aquifer recharge dynamics according to land use and land cover in the basement zone of Burkina Faso in West Africa
Moussa Bruno Kafando, Mahamadou Koïta, Cheick Oumar Zouré, Roland Yonaba, Dial Niang.Groundwater is a vital water supply for local populations and ecosystems globally. With the continuous population growth, the anthropic pressure on groundwater is ever increasing, thus reducing the amount of available water resource. Yet, estimating the impact of anthropogenic activities on...

Water Dynamics Combined with a Supply of NPK Solutes and Urea in a 3-Layer Soil Profile under Drip Irrigation
Ouédraogo, S.K.L., Kébré, M.B. and Zougmoré, F.The intensive and inappropriate use of water, fertilizers and phytosanitary products is sources of water and soil pollution. It is thus necessary to improve the management of irrigation water in order to optimize its use and productivity, especially in regions where water resources are becoming...
