Research Observatory on Water and Society Interactions in the Abidjan district (ORIESA) (Côte d'Ivoire)

The preservation of water resources and their quality, as well as universal access to drinking water and sanitation are major issues to contribute to the sustainability and resilience of cities and particularly of African megacities whose populations will double in the next 20 years. So, these challenges constitute 3 of the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs 6, 11 and 15) of the United Nations for 2030.
The metropolis of Abidjan (4.9 million inhabitants) is an illustrative case of the cities on the edge of the Gulf of Guinea: tension on groundwater resources which impose the use of surface water generally more vulnerable to the pollutions due to the weakness or the lack of sanitation systems, development of pathogens (bacteria, viruses) or vectors (mosquitoes) in the waters, intensification of floods due to uncontrolled urbanization and deficiency of drainage networks, complexification of the governance system and poor organization of services. This situation carries risks in the broad sense and could have serious environmental, health, social, economic and therefore societal consequences. Better scientific knowledge of the Abidjan urban hydro-socio-system, in the long term, would improve urban policies for managing and reducing these risks.

ORIESA already gathers data acquired in the context of two research projects associating the Abidjan Nangui Abrogoua and Félix Houphouët Boigny Universities and the the french institute for sustainable sciences, IRD:
  • The Aghien lagoon, a sustainable source of drinking water for the city of Abidjan? (2015-2018) www.laguneaghien.org
  • Extreme rainfall events, vulnerability to floods and to water contamination (2018-2021) www.evidence-ci.org

Observatoire de Recherche sur les Interactions Eaux et Société dans le district d’Abidjan (ORIESA) (Côte d'Ivoire)

La préservation des ressources en eau et de leur qualité, ainsi que l’accès universel à l’eau potable et à l’assainissement sont des enjeux majeurs pour contribuer à la durabilité et la résilience des villes et particulièrement des métropoles africaines dont les populations doubleront dans les 20 prochaines années. A ce titre, ces enjeux constituent 3 des 17 Objectifs de Développement Durable (ODD6, 11 et 15) des Nations Unies pour 2030.
La métropole d’Abidjan (4.9 millions d’habitants) est un cas illustratif des villes de la bordure du Golfe de Guinée : tension sur les ressources en eaux souterraines nécessitant le recours à des eaux de surface de plus en plus polluées du fait de la faiblesse ou de l’absence de systèmes d’assainissement, développement d’agents pathogènes (bactéries, virus) ou de vecteurs (moustiques) dans les eaux, intensification des inondations du fait d’une urbanisation mal maitrisée et de la déficience des réseaux de drainage, complexification du système gouvernance et mauvaises organisations des services. Cette situation est porteuse de risques au sens large et pourrait avoir de graves conséquences environnementales, sanitaires, sociales, économiques et donc sociétales. Une meilleure connaissance scientifique de l'hydro-socio-système urbain abidjanais, sur le long terme, permettrait d’améliorer les politiques urbaines de gestion et de réduction de ces risques.

ORIESA regroupe d’ores et déjà des données acquises dans le cadre de deux projets de recherches associant les universités abidjanaises Nangui Abrogoua et Félix Houphouët Boigny ainsi que l’Institut de Recherche pour le Développement :
  • La lagune d’Aghien une source durable d’eau potable pour la ville d’Abidjan ? (2015-2018) www.laguneaghien.org
  • Evénements pluvieux extrêmes, vulnérabilité aux inondations et à la contamination des eaux (2018-2021) www.evidence-ci.org
