The world of Sahelian hydrogeology. Identities, frontiers and perspectives of an "invisibilised" scientific discipline
Riaux, J.(1), Plagnes, V.(2), Tall, Y.(1), Bokar, H. (3), Gaye, C.B.(4), Kadjangaba E.(5), Kafando, S.(6), Koita, M. . (7) , Lachassagne P.(8) , Mohamed, A.S.(9), Nazoumou, Y.(10)
The understanding, exploitation and management of groundwater in the Sahelian regions are major
social, political and environmental challenges with respect to the achievement of the Sustainable
Development Goals, especially the water-related SDG 6, whose ambitions are still far from being achieved in
this particularly arid part of the world(...)

Impact environnemental des décharges d’ordures ménagères sur les eaux souterraines en milieu urbain à géologie cristallin fracturé : Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso
abdoul-azize BARRY, Suzanne YAMEOGO, Marina GILLON, Samuel NAKOLENDOUSSE, Abdessamad TOUIOUINE, Meryem JABRANE, Vincent VALLES
La pollution des nappes d’eau souterraine situées au droit des installations de stockage de déchets
ménagers est liée à l'infiltration des lixiviats qui véhiculent une forte charge polluante [1]. Le suivi de la
propagation de ces panaches de polluant dans les aquifères n’est pas aisé, en particulier dans les aquifères
discontinus de socl(...)

Evolution of the Average Temperature of the Interior Atmosphere of a Habitable Cell Made of Foamed Concrete in Burkina Faso
Adelaïde Lareba Ouédraogo, Etienne Malbila, Dieudonné Dabilgou, Fati Oumarou Amadou, Souleymane Ouédraogo, Salifou Ouédraogo, Adamah Messan, Sié Kam, Dieudonné Joseph Bathiebo, Florent Pèlèga Kiéno and Philippe Blanchart
Aims: The energy domain is responsible for the production of many gaseous, liquid and solid pollutants, strongly contributing to climate change. The provision of bioclimatic habitats to households is therefore necessary since it will contribute to the reduction of energy consumption. This work consists in making a study of the thermal behavior(...)

Fertility transition in Dakar, Nairobi and Ouagadougou since the 1970s: an identical reduction at all ages through modern contraception?
Millogo Roch, Rossier Clémentine
While some researchers have predicted a fertility transition in sub-Saharan Africa similar to that witnessed in Europe, Latin America, or Asia, where practices of fertility limitation and long-term contraception have played a major role, others believe that it will differ. The aim of this article is to contribute to this debate, testing Caldwe(...)

Numerical Study of the Effect of Henry’s Constant on the Mechanisms of pesticides Transfer in The Superficial Layers of Hygroscopic Soils
Samuel Ouoba, Auguste A. Soré, Abdoulaye Kaboré and Jean Koulidiati
We describe the transfer mechanisms of pesticides in hygroscopic soils. The work consisted in using Henry’s constants of five pesticides to study the transfer mechanisms. The numerical work consisted to make a soil sample of height h with initial water content w0 and initial pesticide concentration C0 placing it in an ambient atmosphere

Enhancing food production to prevent households from food insecurity in rural Burkina Faso: Does land ownership matter?
SEOGO Windinkonté
Purpose – This paper assesses the effect of land ownership on household food security through its
productivity enhancement effect in rural Burkina Faso.
Design/methodology/approach – As the link between land tenure security and productivity is indirect, the
study relies on a complex mixed process regression model with robustness to assess t(...)

Simulation and Experimentation of Water Heating in a Metal Tube Placed in a Solar Collector
Boureima Kaboré, Germain Wende Pouiré Ouedraogo , Boukaré Ouedraogo, Salia Drabo, Sié Kam, Dieudonné Joseph Bathiebo
Our work relates to a numerical and experimental study of a solar exchanger designed and tested in Laboratory of Renewable Thermal Energy. This device is a unit for transforming solar radiation into thermal energy. The objective of our work is to study the evolution of temperature in the solar collector-water system. Our results show that t(...)

Factors affecting sustainable agricultural intensification in Burkina Faso
MARE Tobignaré Florent; ZAHONOGO Pam; SAVADOGO Kimseyinga
Farmers in Burkina Faso, as in Sub-Saharan Africa overall, face multiple combined difficulties like water stress, continued land degradation and low soil fertility due to climate change effects. To simultaneously overcome these difficulties, where agriculture accounts for more than a third of GDP, intensifying Sustainable Agricultural Practice(...)

Purification potential of local media in the pre-treatment of greywater using vertical biofilters under Sahelian conditions
COMPAORE Cheik Omar Tidiane, MAIGA Ynoussa, OUILI S. Amidou, NIKIEMA Mahamadi, OUATTARA Aboubakar Sidiki
Several on-site greywater treatment systems are under development including biofiltration, whose efficiency is influenced by the filter media. Therefore, the main objective of this study was to evaluate the influence of the type of filter media and their grain size in the removal of organic and microbial pollutants from greywater. Hence, three(...)

The human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) belongs to the Retroviridae family and remains a public health problem in sub-Saharan Africa. Recent reports from WHO have shown that 33 million people died from HIV infections. HIV is one of the most serious fatal human diseases of the 20th and 21st centuries. However, variations in genetic and immunolog(...)

Phenotypic detection of metallo-β-lactamase in imipenemresistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Stenotrophomonas maltophilia at Schiphra Hospital of Ouagadougou in Burkina Faso
Boukaré Kaboré, Hama Cissé, Koudbi Jacob Zongo, Idrissa Sanou, Boukaré Zeba, Yves Traoré, Aly Savadogo
Background: Epidemic of carbapenemase-producing bacteria has become worldwide. Thus, during the last decade, the prevalence of carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae and non fermentative Gram-negative bacteria in human patients have increased. Carbapenemase-producing bacteria are usually multidrug resistant. Therefore, early recognition of ca(...)

Caractérisation du processus de traitement des eaux usées des unités industrielles dans la station de traitement de Kossodo mise en place par l’Office Nationale des Eaux et l’Assainissement (ONEA) au BURKINA FASO
GOUBA Bernard , SAWADOGO Boukari
Les eaux usées des stations de traitement de Kossodo dans la ville de Ouagadougou ont un impact négatif sur l’environnement et sur la population. Pendant plusieurs années la zone de Kossodo est réputée à cause de son odeur nauséabonde due aux eaux usées. Nous avons effectué une étude de terrain afin de mieux caractériser la station d’épuration(...)
