Monitoring the evolution of physical, chemical and microbiological parameters of the leachate from the former final landfill of AGOE
Ouéda Nombamba, Komlan Louis, Tchakala Ibrahim and Bawa Moctar Limam
Abstract: Landfills release leachate, a highly polluting effluent resulting from the percolation of rainwater through waste. The infiltration of this leachate into the subsoil compromises groundwater quality and public health. To assess the level of groundwater contamination two years after the rehabilitation of the former Agoè-Nyivé landfill(...)

Copulas approach for modeling thestochastic dependence of three physico-chemical components of groundwater in theprovince of Sissili (Burkina Faso)
Fabrice Ouoba, Vini Yves Bernadin Loyara, Sibiri Narcisse Dolemweogo and Diakarya Barro
This study aims to model the stochastic dependence between potassium(K+), iron (F e2+), and ammonium (N H+4 ) concentrations in groundwater fromthe Sissili province in Burkina Faso. To achieve this, we rely on the Student,Frank, and H ̈usler–Reiss copulas to capture the full range of hydro-geochemicaldependence structures. This statistical ap(...)

Evaluation of the Performance of a Composite Material Made From Lateritic Soil, Crushed Granite, and Cement for Use as the Base Layer of Road Pavement
Etienne Malbila, Lorell Bationo, Adélaïde Lareba Ouedraogo, Hamma Fabien Yonli, Sié Kam, Dieudonné Joseph Bathiébo
The base layer is important for the road pavement structural performance. This study aims to monitor the performance of various local composite materials as road construction materials. To do this, an experimental study treated the improvement of geotechnical properties of a lateritic gravel, initially nonadopted as a base layer, by using thre(...)

Climate change risks and conservation needs of Lophira lanceolata in West Africa
Tiétiambou Fanta Reine Sheirita, Idohou Rodrigue, Lankoandé Benjamin, Gahounga Fabrice Jean Eudes Crédo, Ouédraogo Amadé
Lophira lanceolata is a multipurpose fruit tree species widely distributed across West Africa, but its populations are declining due to climate change and anthropogenic pressures. This study assessed the current and future distribution of L. lanceolata across West Africa under two Shared Socioeconomic Pathways - SSP2-4.5 and SSP5-8.5- for 2050(...)

Pratiques phytosanitaires et contamination des légumes et eaux d’irrigation par les pesticides dans les zones maraîchères des régions des hauts-bassins et du centre-sud du Burkina Faso
Kouka Hilaire Kaboré, Maximin Tougma, Nombamba Ouéda, Wendnéyidé Mathieu Sawadogo, Amadou Diallo, Békouanan Nabié, Moussa Sondo, Benjamin Lankoandé and Abalo Itolou Kassankogno
Au Burkina Faso, la production maraîchère constitue une source essentielle de revenus monétaires et de sécurité alimentaire, mais elle reste confrontée à des défis liés à la gestion des bioagresseurs. L’usage intensif et souvent non maîtrisé des pesticides pose des risques pour la santé humaine et pour l’environnement. Cette étude a pour objec(...)

Description de la femme dans le roman burkinabè : cas de Roogo de Mahamoudou Ouédraogo
SAWADOGO Somaïla, BELEM Hamidou
L’œuvre littéraire est porteuse des valeurs et des identités de la société décrite par son auteur. Ainsi, le roman, à travers ses intrigues, mobilise des personnages véhiculant des idées, des visions, des philosophies. Ce faisant, l’auteur met en exergue l’image des personnages. La littérature burkinabè s’inscrit dans cette logique avec une mi(...)

Experimental study on the use of crushed granite sand for lithostabilization of lateritic soils in road construction
Yasmine Binta Traoré, Possibo Elise LOMPO, Nafissatou Savadogo, Hamma Fabien Yonli
The use of local materials in road infrastructure provides a sustainable alternative to the high costs of conventional construction materials. However, certain lateritic gravels exhibit insufficient geotechnical properties for direct use in pavement layers. This study evaluated the potential improvement in the physical and mechanical propertie(...)
