Climatic conditions in West Africa

Risks and catastrophes

• Frequent flooding events

– Habitats demand vs. Low land occupation

– Water Infiltration problems due to land occupation

Médina Gounass 2008 (Dakar suburban zone)

• Wetlands and soils degradation • Denudated lands in extension • Aquatic vegetation • Uses of pesticides • Biodiversity loss

• Difficulties to water access

– Burden to fetch water

– Water born diseases

– Water pricing

• Sanitation and default of sanitation

– Stagnant rainwater

– Waterborne diseases.

Thiaroye Sur-Mer (2008), Dakar Niang S., 2008

• Food security problems

• Rural poverty increase

Périmètre SAED (MANÉ, 2008)

• Urbanisation et water distribution problem • Coastal erosion • Estuaries, deltas, coastal hydrographic network

– Threat in touristic sector – Land loss – GW and SW salinisation in coastal areas…

IWRM within academic reform

• Master degree M – 4 semesters

• Doctorate D – 3 to 4 years

• 5 Universities: UCAD, UGB, UZ, UB, UT

Graduate and Post graduate courses with IWRM modules

1. Bachelor of Geography at UGB

2. Master of Geography at UGB

3. Master in Hydrogeology at UCAD

4. Master in Water Resources, Environment – Development at UCAD

5. Doctoral School Water, Water Quality and Usages (EDEQUE)

6. Two Regional courses on GW and IWRM /AGW net -Capnet- BGR –GWP wa

7. Initiative under auspice of GWP-WA to develop IWRM curricula in water resource within the sub region

Bachelor and Master in Geography at UGB

• option: Ecosystem and Environment

• IWRM modules taught from 1st to 3rd year: hydrology in natural setting, hydro climatology, surface hydrology, applied hydrology, mobilisation and Water management, water territory and governance, IWRM

• Tools used: technical manual from 2iE – GWP Toolbox and other sources

• Improvement required: lack of scientific dimensions – water territories – water territories governance – lack of practical case studies – difficulties in implementing IWRM tools

Master Hydrogeology • Objectives: train specialists in GW resources able to:

– conduct research in different domains (prospection, exploitation, management, protection) in Hydrogeology,

– Implement water supply Projects/programs

– Foster water policy and IWRM in the context of aridity and CC at decision making levels.

• Modules taught: Quantitative hydrogeology, GW modeling,

Hydrochemistry/isotopes hydrology/pollution, hydrology and watershed hydrology, climatology, GIS and RS techniques, Geophysic, boreholes drilling,

• IWRM taught: GW management and IWRM with strong :

institutional, regulatory and policy in WRM, economic and social instrument, water use, CC impacts, mobilization impact and risk assessment, GW vulnerability and protection

• Improvement need: difficulties to implement IWRM in GW

management despite institution, policy, technical instrument

2. Master in Geography: Water resource, environments and development (Geography Dpt)

• General approach : – Processes and factors description within water cycle at watershed

scale, – Estimation, prevision and modeling methods from precipitation to run

off – Hydrologic risks management, high stage, flooding, low stage, draught,

pollution, – Surface water management and protection, – Water Perceptions, usages by indigenous, – indigenous/modern hydraulic infrastructures, – Geopolitics in water sector (cooperation and conflict)

• OBJECTIVES: – Train specialists in water resource in its relation with space and

societies/users able to

– Evaluate, sustainably manage surface water resources in small watershed

– analyse factors and socio and spatial benefits related to water resources

IWRM Modules taught

• Water governance, • Applied climatology • Natural risks; • Ecosystem dynamics and issues , • environment et water mobilization • Climatology and hydrology, • Water mobilization and territorial development, • Territory and health, • Geopolitic and water conflicts

Water resources

• Continental Hydrology

• Hydrogeology

• Climate and climate impacts

• Hydraulic and fluid mechanics

Water Usages and demands

• Water and indigenous/modern spatial strategies

• Economics-water management

water, Environment and

societies

• Water and Development

• Water, Environment and health

• Integrated Water Resource Management IWRM

• Water policy-laws

Littoral management

• Littoral Environment

• Littoral Gouvernence

• Littoral Engineering

Few recommandations • Short postgraduate courses in IWRM for larger

audience shoud be promoted along with university degrees

• Lack of Readily available pedagogic package materials (powerpoint with practical cases studies – guidebook)

• Implementation issues: success in some small watersheds and river basin organisation like OMVS

• Partners involvment issue: government, NGO, Association

EDEQUE: NEPAD Center of Excellence leader of the network of West African centers of Excellence

1. Hydraulic infrastructures towards economic development ( water for energy, agriculture and others usages);

2. Water resource management (transboundary and basins water resources management and protection, sustainable usages)

3. Water, sanitation and health – millennium Dvt goals;

4. Water and climate: adaptation to CC, risk management ;

5. Water governance ( institutional, role and responsibility of stakeholders, involvement in process) ;

6. Funding in water and sanitation sector

7. Education, knowledge, information and capacity building .

8. Coastal zone water and lakes sustainable management

Missions of l’EDEQUE

Ensure high quality research supervision

Implement an interdisciplinary approach in water sector

Finding Research fund for Doctorale thesis

Foster local, regional and international integration through incrementing professional competence, problem-solving abilities towards progress in the provision of water for human and economic development

Benefits • Alliance of diverse research teams and their specific objectives on

water resource development and management ( interdisciplinary approach) to describe, analyze and implement project in water sector with aspects related to engineering, social, policy…

• Most of them have already a common history (teaching and research) and work within common structures (UCAD) and partners structures (others universities, governmental structures, international organisations).

• Research teams also share an interest for practical applications leading to careers in the industry.

• The program benefits from an excellent integration of its doctorates on the job market.

• More than 50 researchers and highly qualified professionals involved in EDEQUE and working in different programs (UNESCO, AMMA, Water, Coastal zone, climalology , CC , IWRM, policy and economics projects)

Context of IWRM in Senegal

Worldwide water crisis Decline in Potable water

availability and water shortage Increase in water demand Water crisis in many basins Climatic variability and CC

impacts: water, ecosystem, food Health, coast, risks
