  • To the Management of Surface Water Resources in the Ivory Coast Basin of the Aghien Lagoon
    International Journal of Scientific & Engineering Research Volume 10, Issue 10, October-2019 1605 ISSN 2229-5518 Application of the water evaluation and planning model (WEAP) to the management of surface water resources in the Ivory Coast basin of the Aghien lagoon 1Dabissi NOUFÉ Djibril, 2ZAMBLE Armand Tra Bi, 1DIALLO Seydou, 1SORO Emile Gnénéyougo, 1DAO Amidou, 1DIOMANDE Souleymane, EFFEBI Kôkôh Rose, 1KAMAGATÉ Bamory, 1GONÉ Droh Laciné, 3PATUREL Jean-Emmanuel, 2MAHE Gil, 1GOULA Bi Tié Albert, 3SERVAT Éric. Abstract —Water, an essential element of life, is of paramount importance in our countries, where it is increasingly scarce and threatened; we are constantly maintained by news where pollution, scarcity, flooding are mixed. As a result of cur- rent rapid climatic and demographic changes, the management of water resources by human being is becoming one of the major challenges of the 21st century, as water becoming an increasingly limited resource. It will now be necessary to use with modera- tion. This study is part of the project "Aghien Lagoon" (Abidjan) and its potential in terms of safe tape water resources. Mega- lopolis of about six million inhabitants (RGPH, 2014), Abidjan encounters difficulties of access to safe tape water due to the de- cline of the underground reserves and the increase the demand related to urban growth. Thus, the Aghien lagoon, the largest freshwater reserve near Abidjan, has been identified by the State of Côte d'Ivoire as a potential source of additive production of safe tape water. However, urbanization continues to spread on the slopes of this basin, while, at the same time, market garden- ing is developing, in order to meet the demand.

  • “Abidjan: Floods, Displacements, and Corrupt Institutions”
    “Abidjan: Floods, Displacements, and Corrupt Institutions” Abstract Abidjan is the political capital of Ivory Coast. This five million people city is one of the economic motors of Western Africa, in a country whose democratic strength makes it an example to follow in sub-Saharan Africa. However, when disasters such as floods strike, their most vulnerable areas are observed and consequences such as displacements, economic desperation, and even public health issues occur. In this research, I looked at the problem of flooding in Abidjan by focusing on their institutional response. I analyzed its institutional resilience at three different levels: local, national, and international. A total of 20 questionnaires were completed by 20 different participants. Due to the places where the respondents lived or worked when the floods occurred, I focused on two out of the 10 communes of Abidjan after looking at the city as a whole: Macory (Southern Abidjan) and Cocody (Northern Abidjan). The goal was to talk to the Abidjan population to gather their thoughts from personal experiences and to look at the data published by these institutions. To analyze the information, I used methodology combining a qualitative analysis from the questionnaires and from secondary sources with a quantitative approach used to build a word-map with the platform Voyant, and a series of Arc GIS maps. The findings showed that the international organizations responded the most effectively to help citizens and that there is a general discontent with the current local administration. The conclusions also pointed out that government corruption and lack of infrastructural preparedness are two major problems affecting the overall resilience of Abidjan and Ivory Coast to face this shock.
