1.1.2.WATER USE In 2000, levies on water resources amounted to 1591 million m3, of which 1 435 million for agriculture (93 percent), 98 million for communities (4 percent) and 58 million for industry (3 percent).
1.2.WATER QUALITY, ECOSYSTEMS AND HUMAN HEALTH Major environmental problems are wildlife populations threatened by poaching; deforestation; overgrazing; soil erosion; desertification; overfishing. The water quality is good for irrigation except the Senegal River that are slightly alkaline, resulting in the absence of drainage systems for most irrigated areas, the long-term risk of salting and alkalinization irrigated soils. Fortunately, the calcium ion content of soils in the valley act as a buffer that will last very long. Deterioration in the quality of surface water has been observed in places. These damages are mainly caused by eutrophication due to a reduction in flow velocity and oxygenation of the water because of new dams and dikes, proliferation of aquatic vegetation in the Senegal River delta, and chemical and biological pollution related to the discharge of wastes and pesticides, particularly in the Delta and the Senegal River valley in the Niayes and Dakar. In the basin of the Sine Saloum (groundnut) approximately 230 000 hectares were destroyed by salinization and acidification due to a lack of rainfall, which determine the continued decline of groundwater. In addition, uncontrolled logging and the expansion of cultivation areas and bush fires are another source of degradation. This situation is exacerbated by wind erosion, water and chemical (salt). But there have been reports of salinized land in each agro-ecological, except eastern Senegal. The Senegal River delta appears to be particularly affected by waterborne diseases (bilharzia and diarrhea).
