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.
