<br /><span class="story-posted-date">Publi sur le web le 27 Mars 2003</span>  </p> <p class="story-writer"> Christian Dallet<br />  Abidjan  </p>   <p class="story-body">Avec la saturation de la dcharge d'Akoudo, la construction d'un ouvrage de traitement des ordures mnagres et des dchets industriels de la ville d'Abidjan, appel centre d'enfouissement technique, s'avre ncessaire. M. Tchimou N'Gbocho, directeur de l'hydraulique humaine au ministre des infrastructures conomiques, partage non seulement cette ncessit mais aussi affirme que ce projet indispensable est ralisable en Cte d'Ivoire. C'est pourquoi, il n'a fait aucune objection quant au lieu o pourrait tre bti cet difice.</p> <p class="story-body">" Les trois dossiers qui m'ont t prsents par la direction de l'environnement et du cadre de vie ont leurs sites dans le continental terminal. C'est--dire dans la zone aquifre qui contient la nappe servant  alimenter en eau potable la ville d'Abidjan. Elle a une bonne porosit. Et une bonne partie de la pluie qui arrose le bassin versant s'infiltre pour alimenter cette nappe et former une rserve . C'est cette rserve que nous exploitons pour servir en eau potable Abidjan. Cette nappe favorise la production d'une eau de bonne qualit. La ville d'Abidjan supporte les frais de la production d'eau de la plupart des centres de l'intrieur. Nous produisons environ 146 millions de m3 par an sur toute l'tendue du territoire. 99 millions de cette production proviennent de cette nappe. Cela reprsente presque 67% de la production nationale. C'est aussi une nappe qui est facile d'accs quant  son exploitation. " Vu l'importance de cette nappe dont la protection constitue une proccupation de la sant des populations, la direction de l'hydraulique humaine, a fait plusieurs recommandations. De sorte  viter des impacts ventuels ou que cette nappe ne soit pollue en mettant en oeuvre le projet.</p>  <p class="story-body">Ainsi, M. Tchimou souhaite, entre autres prcautions pour un projet d'une telle envergure, une tude d'impact environnemental, la mise en oeuvre des techniques d'impermabilisation du sous-sol. Drainer les eaux qui vont ruisseler de la dcomposition des ordures vers un endroit o l'on peut traiter cette eau avant son rejet dans la nature. Installer des forages (de surveillance) aux alentours de la zone. Ils serviront  prlever de l'eau pour un contrle de la qualit. Au niveau des rivires, il doit avoir, selon lui, des points de prlvements de l'eau pour analyse. Il faudra viter des coulements vers les cours d'eaux environnants. Car pour lui, la construction du centre d'enfouissement technique dans l'un des trois villages ne va pas systmatiquement polluer la nappe phratique. Selon M. Tchimou,  l'ancienne dcharge d'Akoudo on ne signale pas de problmes de pollution de la nappe aprs plusieurs analyses ralises." La pollution ne se fait pas aussi facilement et rapidement. Si les indications sont respectes, on ne peut pas craindre la pollution de la nappe. Donc il faut tre vigilant pour ne pas arriver  cette situation. Car si l'eau est pollue, ce serait une situation irrversible. Et l'on ne pourra pas la dpolluer", averti-t-il.</p> <p class="story-body">La direction de l'hydraulique humaine a anticip sur les dispositions  prendre par rapport  l'volution des besoins en eau de la ville d'Abidjan. C'est ainsi qu'elle a identifi la lagune Potou et Aghien comme tant les futures ressources d'alimentation, en eau potable d'Abidjan.</p> <p class="story-body">Toutefois, elle tient  relever qu'en 1996, les responsables chargs de l'adduction d'eau potable en Cte d'Ivoire notamment la direction de l'hydraulique, le BNETD et la Sodeci ont commandit une tude sur la gestion et la protection de cette nappe. Il ressort de ces informations que les rserves sont estimes  12 milliards de m3. De 1977  1995 , il y a eu une rduction du stock de cette nappe  raison de 21, 7 millions de m3 par an. La diminution de ce stock est un signe inquitant qu'il ne faut pas ngliger  l'avenir quant  l'alimentation en eau potable de la ville d'Abidjan, a indiqu M. Tchimou.</p> <!-- end story layout piece here --> <br clear="all" /> <table width="480" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0"> <tr><td align="center"> <hr align="left" size="1" width="480" /> </td></tr> <tr><td align="center" class="basic-ninety"> <a href="/browser_sethome.html" class="blue"><strong>Faites d'allAfrica.com votre page d'accueil</strong></a>   </td></tr>  <tr>   <td align="center">     <hr align="left" size="1" width="480" />   </td>  </tr>   <tr><td align="center"> <span class="text-nav"> <b> <a class="blue" href="#top">Dbut&nbsp;de&nbsp;page</a>&nbsp;| <a class="blue" href=http://allafrica.com/stories/200303270152.html>English&nbsp;Site</a> | <a class="blue" href="/howto.html">Plan&nbsp;du&nbsp;Site</a> | <a class="blue" href="/whoweare.html">Qui&nbsp;Nous&nbsp;Sommes</a> | <a class="blue" href="javascript:void 0" onMouseOver="window.status='Publicit'; return true;" onclick="window.open('/media_kit/frames.html?page=main', 'Publicit', 'scrollbars,toolbar=no,location=no,nonresizable,width=600,height=600,left=0,top=0').focus()">Publicit</a>&nbsp; </b> </span>  <tr><td align="center"> <hr align="left" size="1" width="480" /> </td></tr> <tr><td align="center" class="copy"> <a class="blue" href="/copyright.html"><u>Copyright</u></a> &copy; 2003 Fraternit Matin.
