groundwater's in African cities. It is aimed at identifying the eventual pollution hot
points and raising the populations and decision makers’ awareness on these issue.
Ouagadougou has been selected as a project site during the experimental phase whose
activities entrusted to the Hydrogeology laboratory of the University of Ouagadougou
were launched in January 2000. The first publication of the Early Warning bulletin
contains the first achievements of the national project’s team. The bulletin will be
