Impacts of hydrogeochemical processes and anthropogenic activities on groundwater quality in the Upper Precambrian sedimentary aquifer of northwestern Burkina Faso
A. Sako, J. M. Yaro and O. Bamba
This study investigates the hydrogeochemical and anthropogenic factors that control groundwater quality in an Upper Precambrian sedimentary aquifer in the northwestern Burkina Faso. The raw data and statistical and geochemical modeling results were used to identify the sources of major ions in dug well, private borewell and tap water samples.(...)

Evaluation of Agronomic Performances of Five Cowpea Lines in the Experimental Research Station of Saria, Burkina Faso
Antoine Barro, Téyouré Benoit Joseph Batieno, Jean Baptiste De La Salle Tignégré, James Bougouma Neya, Palé Korotoumou, Adama Kaboré, Mahamadi Hamed Ouédraogo, Mahamadou Sawadogo
Considered by most producers as their coffee and cocoa as it plays a role of cash crop, cowpea constitutes in Burkina Faso an important source of income to satisfy the needs of families in rural environment. It is grown in all agro-ecological area of the country. Despite this advantage, its production is held back by biotic and abiotic constra(...)

Ecological Risk Assessment of Heavy Metals in Sediments from the Soubeira Reservoir, a Small-Scale Reservoir in North Central Burkina Faso, West Africa
Souleymane Pélédé, Aboubakar Sako & Ousmane Bamba
Small-scale reservoirs play a central role in socio-economic development of Burkina Faso. In the absence of a best environmental management plan, these reservoirs can be potential factors of water pollution and ecological deterioration. In the present study, we investigated ecological status of sediments from the Soubeira reservoir, using conc(...)

Hydrochemical characteristics of Djirwal groundwater in Burkina Faso
Koné Martine Nimi Mamadou, Traoré Oumar, Bonou Lucien
Humanity is increasingly facing the issues related to the availability of water in quantity and quality. Its poor quality is source of many diseases. Burkina Faso is not exempted from these difficulties given its demographic outgrowth. This work aims to check physical and chemical parameters of wells and boreholes water of the village of Djirw(...)

Geochemical Signature of Magmatic-Hydrothermal Fluids Exsolved from the Beauvoir Rare-Metal Granite (Massif Central, France): Insights from LA-ICPMS Analysis of Primary Fluid Inclusions
Matthieu Harlaux, Julien Mercadier, Wilédio Marc-Emile Bonzi, Valentin Kremer, Christian Marignac, and Michel Cuney
The Beauvoir granite (Massif Central, France) represents an exceptional case in the European Variscan belt of a peraluminous rare-metal granite crosscutting an early W stockwork. The latter was strongly overprinted by rare-metal magmatic-hydrothermal fluids derived from the Beauvoir granite, resulting in a massive topazification of the quartz-(...)

In this paper, the results of the first density investigations (via Distance methodology on line transect surveys) for the threatened African spurred tortoise Centrochelys sulcata from West African Sahel (Niger and Burkina Faso) are reported. Spurred tortoises were encountered in 51.8% of Burkina Faso transects ( n = 27) and in 60.7% of Niger(...)

Spider plant (Cleome gynandra L.) is a traditional leafy-vegetable consumed
more and more in Burkina Faso because it is a good food complement
against the nutritional deficiencies. In order to improve the species, several
studies of characterization carried out showed the existence of a great
genetic diversity. But, the varietal improvemen(...)

Africa is currently an important region in which cholera epidemics occur. Little is known about the presence of Vibrio cholerae in freshwater
bodies in Africa. There are ca. 1700 lakes and reservoirs in Burkina Faso, most of which have been built within recent decades to secure water
resources. The purpose of this study was to investigate th(...)
