The present study aims to delimit protection perimeters around the "Agbo" river in Agboville in order to reduce the risks of pollution of this water resource. The methodological approach consisted first all in assessing the vulnerability of the resource and then in determining the protection perimeters based on the vulnerability map and previous studies. Five parameters (slope, land use, soil type, annual runoff and drainage density) were used. These parameters were then weighted using the Saaty multicriteria analysis method. The vulnerability map reveals four classes (very low, low, medium and high) with a dominance of the low class (41.35% of the area). Three protection perimeters were delineated (immediate, close and remote). The immediate protection perimeter is delimited at a distance of 200 m around the SODECI water intake on the "Agbo" river and covers the areas with a strong influence on the vulnerability to pollution of the river. The closer protection perimeter at a distance of 1000 m, is represented by the zones with strong influence on the vulnerability of the resource and the direction of water flow in the watershed. Finally, the remote protection perimeter covers a large part of the catchment area with a surface area of 510.36 km 2 and takes into account the zones that have an influence on the vulnerability to pollution of the resource. These delimited protection perimeters can serve as a guide for the management and protection of the water intake in Agboville as well as for land use planning in this area.
La rivière Kan située au sud de Bouaké est soumise à une pression surtout urbaines. Depuis la crise militaro-politique de 2010, des activités agricoles et de pèche se sont développées autour de ce cours d’eau. Les eaux usées sont rejetées directement dans le cours de la rivière. L’objectif de cette étude est d’évaluer l’impact des activités socio-économiques sur la rivière Kan à partir d’une enquête de terrain et une analyse physico-chimiques et microbiologiques des eaux. Cette ressource est utilisée par la Société de Distribution d’eau Potable de la Côte d’Ivoire pour l’alimentation en eau potable des populations Pour ce faire, 08 sites d’échantillonnage ont été sélectionnés. Les paramètres physico-chimiques ont été déterminés et des analyses de coliformes totaux de coliformes thermotolérants et de streptocoques fécaux ont été effectuées par les méthodes de filtration sur membrane. Les valeurs respectivement sont de 18.102 à 93.105 UFC/100 ml d’eau. Le résultat de l’analyse physico-chimiques indique une turbidité comprise entre 2,35 NTU et 21,5 NTU au-dessus de la norme OMS, cette turbidité est influencée par les activités anthropiques exercées. Dans la rivière Kan, la concentration en éléments polluants est en nette augmentation à cause des eaux usées qui y sont déversées sans traitement préalable.
The uncontrolled dumping of solid waste is a risk factor for soil and groundwater contamination. Indeed, the buried waste generates a strong accumulation of metallic trace elements in the soil. The objective of this study is to investigate the impact of the Akouédo landfill on soil metallic trace elements. Soil samples (0-20 cm) were taken from the control site (soils without residues) and the three sites DAK, DAD, DJD, which correspond, respectively, to older residue soils, aged 30 years, older residue soils, aged between 20 and 30 years and young residue soils, aged 10 years. Atomic Absorption Spectrometer (AAS) analysis of trace metals showed higher concentrations of Zn, Pb, Cu, Cr and Cd in the tailings soils than in the control site.
