“…According to these authors [11] [12] [18] [21] [22] [23], it is obtained by combining the depth of the structures (m) and the success index. These two criteria are considered as economic and social factors, because they promote or not the access to the resource [14].…”

The commune of Tamou, located in the Department of Say in Niger, occupies the southwestern part of the Liptako crystallophyllian basement domain. In this area, the problem of the drinking water supply of the populations is acute, because of the low flow rates of the drillings capturing the crystallophyllian formations and the Voltaian sandstones, the failure rates of the drillings are very high there. Therefore, the main objective of this study is to improve the knowledge of the areas potentially favorable for the implantation of drillings likely to give more satisfactory flow rates. The methodological approach, based on the collection of data (Landsat 7 ETM+ satellite imagery, borehole data, geological and topographical maps) and their processing by a combination of remote sensing and GIS tools and a field check, allowed the elaboration of maps of availability, accessibility and exploitability of the groundwater resources in the study area. The maps developed were analyzed with a Spatial Reference Hydrogeological Information System following the technique of aggregation by weighting to generate the map of productive drilling sites. The results show that the area is moderately rich in groundwater (58%) and that only 31% of the potential is exploitable. The groundwater potential map shows that 46% of the study area is suitable for drilling.

“…In Niger, few authors have been interested in studying the hydrogeological role of fracturing in cristallin basements related to groundwater exploration [7] [8] [14] [15] [16]. These studies show that the boreholes drilled near of faults are much more productive than those that are distant [8] [14], and the fracturing map from the work of [7] [15] [16] has been an important tool for decision-making in groundwater research in basement formation of Liptako and Aïr massif.…”

Bagzan mount is located in the Aïr massifs region. This locality, which is constituted only by the granites and volcanic formations, knows the difficulty of water supply that depends on rainfall. This present study has the objective of fracture mapping that allowed to the fractured aquifer in Bagzan mount. The methodological approach used has a treatment of Digital Elevation Model (DEM imagery), hydrogeological and geological approach in the field. This process allowed us to map the lineaments and elaborate a fracturing map after the validation stage. The fracturing map showed that the fractures network is distributed in the N70˚-N80˚, N60˚-N70˚, N50˚-N60˚, and two secondary directions N90˚-N100˚ and N120˚-N140˚. These fracturing maps allowed us to have precious information in groundwater research in Bagzan mount, due to their geological and hydrogeological complexity.
