Language: French, with slides in English
Summary: The Senegal River, one of the largest in West Africa, has great development potential in terms of hydroelectric power, irrigation, fishing and navigation. The directions taken in the coming years by the bording states will be decisive for the future of the river and of the populations of the valley in particular. A hydro-economic analysis of the various scenarios for the development and management of the river's waters has made it possible to highlight the coalitions of objectives/ uses/countries that could emerge in the future. In addition, this analysis quantifies for the first time the trade-offs between different uses and their vulnerabilities in the face of anthropogenic and natural (hydrological) disturbances..
New series of weekly CentrEau webinars "all about water management". These short 20-minute presentations will be offered live every Thursday at 1 p.m. followed by a short discussion period. CentrEau professors and researchers, as well as guest speakers, will present their research work and its importance in a semi-popularized manner. Watch the previous webinars on our YouTube Channel!
