“…The runoff water is usually guided into infiltration enhancement structures, i.e., planting pits, and used to grow plants. For example, zaïs (dug pits with manure that concentrate runoff in the plants) in Burkina Faso and Niger have increased agricultural yields (Kaboré and Reij 2004) and vegetation cover (Reij et al 2009). Finally, at a larger scale, managing aquifer recharge (Dillon et al 2019) is a promising solution to reduce flood risks and store surplus water for irrigation (He et al 2021).…”

The divergence between agricultural water use and the annual supply of water resources (water gap) has been increasing for decades. The forecast is that this water gap will continue to widen, compromising the water security of a large share of the global population. On the one hand, the increase in demand is attributed to an ever-growing population that, in addition, is adopting a high-water consumption per capita lifestyle (e.g., meat-rich diet, increased use of biofuels and of irrigated agriculture). On the other hand, climate change is increasing aridification and the spatio-temporal heterogeneity of precipitation worldwide. The water gap is particularly acute in drylands, where development and food security has been based on the massive exploitation of water resources, particularly groundwater. Here we analyze the mechanisms underlying this water gap, which is mainly driven by water use in agriculture, and suggest suitable solutions that can help to close it. Using causal diagrams, we show how population generates different demands that create a water gap that prevailing supply-side solutions cannot close. Indeed, it has been widening over the years because water consumption has grown exponentially. This behaviour is explained by a series of mechanisms that it is necessary to understand to realize the complexity of water scarcity problems. For solving the water gap, we propose and exemplify eight lines of action that can be combined and tailored to each territory. Our analyses corroborate the urgent need to plan an integral management of water resources to avoid widespread scenarios of water scarcity under future climatic conditions.

“…The interest of traditional medicine is increasing considerably all over the world. According to the World Health Organisation (WHO), this medicine could be defined as all combination of knowledges and practices, whether explicable or not, used to diagnose, prevent or eliminate a physical, mental or social disease and which may be based exclusively on ancient experience and observations transmitted from generation to generation, orally or in writing [1] . Traditional human pharmacopoeia is still very present in African societies.…”

In Côte d'Ivoire, the prevalence rate of diabetes is 9.6%. This rate is high and worrying. However, there is no satisfactory therapy for this pathology described as a "silent killer". It is therefore essential to find an alternative through the heritage of plant resources used in traditional medicine. The decoction of Piliostigma thonningii leaves is frequently used by Ivorian traditional therapists. This study focuses on this plant species by performing a phytochemical screening and evaluating the acute toxicity of aqueous extracts from the plant's leaves. In laboratory, the phytomedicine was explored for its pharmacodynamic effects. After fasting the mice for 12 hours, the stock solution of 200 mg/ml was administered by gavage at a volume of 0.6 ml per 20 grams of body weight. The toxicological study showed that the aqueous extract from leaves of Piliostigma thonningii did not show toxic effect on the animals. The phytochemical screening of the tested sample in Pharmacodynamics revealed various chemical groups: alkaloids, coumarins, flavonoids, polyphenols, quinones, saponosides and catechic tannins. Polyphenols, alkaloids and flavonoids are believed to be responsible for the anti-diabetic activity. This preliminary verification, based on pharmacological and phytochemical tests, confirms the traditional therapeutic use of the tested plant.
