Problèmes d’accès à l’eau potable et de salubrité

River Senegal (1 800 km) has a highly variable flow. Its basin covers an area of 300 000 km2 and is unequally shared between four riverine countries: Guinea (9 %), Mali (46 %), Mauritania (23 %) and Senegal (22%)Since the beginning of the 19th century successive schemes for the development of the Se...
