![]() ![]() Moreover, the CIEH piezometer is located in a 2 m amplitude water table depression either in May or in October. The mean water level amplitude is 3 m, the minimum amplitude being reached at the CIEH piezometer (0.76 m). The minimum water level occurred in May, at the end of the dry season, while the maximum took place in October, one month after the end of the rainy season. 23 boreholes and wells in various land uses and within a 2 km radius around the CIEH piezometer were monitored during the 2013-2014 hydrologic year. ![]() Its water level is investigated as a potential proxy for groundwater water resources in West African basement rock aquifers submitted to climate changes. ![]() ![]() Journal of Water Resource and Protection,ĪBSTRACT: The CIEH piezometer, located in the center of Ouagadougou city presents a water level record spanning the West African Drought which peaked during the 80s and 90s.
