Productivity of Fissured Aquifers from Precambrian Basement of San Pedro (Southwestern of Côte d’Ivoire) | Chapter 01 | Current Perspectives to Environment and Climate Change Vol. 2
This study focuses on characterization of hard-rock aquifers in South Western Côte d’Ivoire where previous quantitative hydrogeological studies were not enough. San Pedro is localized in South-Western Côte d'Ivoire where the basement is dominated by folded and fissured crystalline rocks. Several years ago, many drinking water supply initiatives were performed in this study area considering its particular geographical location and hydrological trumps. This study aims to contribute to the best knowledge of hydrogeological potentialities of this basement pointing to reduce doubtful quality surface water using. The database incorporated satellite radar image and reports of boreholes. The methodological approach was based on remote sensing, fracture characterizing, pumping tests reports and multivariate statistical analysis. Treatment of satellite image highlighted 271 fractures ranged between 2.11 and 39.37 km. Rock mass permeability due to fractures fluctuated between 2.35E-07 and ...
