Chaired by Costa Rica, Spain and the United States, the goal of the partnership is to encourage effective adaptation by serving as an Adaptation Action: interim platform to catalyze action and foster communication among the various institutions and West Africa actors engaged in the effort to scale up adaptation and resilience around the world, particularly in the context of fast start finance. The Partnership is synthesizes lessons learned and good practices, highlighting needs and priorities, and identifying opportunities for cooperation and alignment of support to build resilience to the adverse effects of Contributing Authors: climate change.

  • Ground Water Suitability for Irrigation in the Korama Basin, Southern Zinder, Niger
    International Journal of Research in Agriculture and Forestry Volume 2, Issue 8, August 2015, PP 55-64 ISSN 2394-5907 (Print) & ISSN 2394-5915 (Online) Ground Water Suitability for Irrigation in the Korama Basin, Southern Zinder, Niger Issoufou SANDAO1, 4, Maman Sani ABDOU BABAYE2, Boureima OUSMANE 1, Jean Luc MICHELOT3 1Department of Geology, Faculty of Science and Technology, Abdou Moumouni University, Niamey, Niger 2Department of Geology, Faculty of Science and Technology, Dan Dicko Dan Koulodo University, Maradi, Niger 3Laboratory of Hydrology and Isotope Geochemistry, UMR Orsay Terre CNRS, Paris-Sud University, apart. 504, 91405 Orsay, France 4Department of Water Resources, Ministry of Water Resources and Sanitation, Niamey Niger, ABSTRACT In the Korama basin, groundwater is the main source of water supply for urban and rural populations and their livestock. However, following recurrent droughts over three decades having significantly reduced agricultural production, political authorities have opted for development of irrigated agriculture from groundwater, in order to fight against food insecurity. Also, it is necessary to know the suitability of water for irrigation. To this end, forty-two (42) water points were sampled to determine the physiochemical characteristics of different water tables. The analysis and processing of these physiochemical data by methods of conductivity, salinity, Sodium Residual (SAR), and Residual Carbonates have allowed to find that water is poorly mineralized in the area, and is generally of good quality (suitable) for irrigation. Keywords: hydrogeology, suitability, irrigation, Korama, Zinder, Niger INTRODUCTION In the Korama basin, groundwater is the main source for water supply of urban and rural populations and their livestock. But since the 1973-1974 great droughts, rainfall deficits that have followed each other have led to a drastic reduction in rain-fed agricultural production.

During times of food scarcity, certain customs of West African culture may dictate that children receive less than their proportionate share of food. Young children, as a result of their rapid growth rate and their increased susceptibility to infection, are at a greater risk than adults to the effects of nutritional depiivation. Body measurements of children are con­ sidered a sensitive index of nutritional status and growth patterns are likely to be significantly different from normals if undernutrition is present; anthropometrics of children are accordingly central to this survey. Height and weight are the two most commonly used measures of physical growth, and with sufficient care and adequate instruments, accurate measure­ ments can be made on many children in a relatively short time.
