Thèse Abstract:
We estimated vulnerability and pollution risk of groundwater at the pan-African scale. We therefore compiled themost recent continental scale information on soil, land use, geology, hydrogeology and climate in a Geographical Information System(GIS) at a resolution of 15km × 15 kmand at the scale of 1:60,000,000. The groundwater vulnerabilitymap was constructed bymeans of the DRASTIC method.
