The Use of Wastewater for Urban Agriculture

 Though seemingly trivial, this statement is pertinent as we realise how difficult it
is to satisfy all water needs, encompassing domestic needs, agricultural
activities, residential and recreational needs. This competition is especially tough
in dry climates of the Sahelian zone, such as in Burkina Faso, Mauretania and
Senegal – the three countries on which we are focusing our attention. Here,
water is the major stumbling block to developing agricultural activities, and
domestic needs win out over agricultural activities in the competition for water.
