Type: article
Abstract: This thesis focuses on the assessment of potable water needs in the locality of Tioroniaradougou in Ivory Coast, looking ahead to 2030, 2040, and 2050. In a context of rapid population growth, urbanization, and climate change, the study aims to anticipate the future water requirements of the population and propose sustainable solutions for adequate supply. The methodological approach is based on demographic projections, analysis of water allocations per capita, and the calculation of average, maximum, and peak flow rates. It also includes an analysis of existing infrastructure (boreholes, water towers, distribution network) and a reinforcement strategy based on technical criteria (number of boreholes needed, storage volume, etc.). The results show a growing deficit between demand and current capacities. By 2050, the town will need more than 1100 m3/day, compared to the current capacity of 440 m3/day, with a storage requirement of 822 m3 versus 80 m3 available. But a prospective study on hydraulic infrastructure will be discussed in another publication.
