Construction of the Iullemeden Aquifer System (IAS) which is located in Mali, Niger and Nigeria, with minor areas in Algeria and Benin and covers a region of approximately 525 000 km2. The Iullemeden Basin represents a reservoir of good-quality water which requires proper management.
Description
<p>The IAS faces multiple constraints; in particular difficulties of access to water resources related to the excessive depth (over 600 m) in some regions. Moreover, the lack of sub-regional strategic water resources management has led to changes in aquifer hydro-dynamics and water quality degradation. It constitutes the main perennial resource of potable water and a strategic resource for the sustainable development of the concerned countries. </p>
