  abstract = {{S}everal developed inland valleys for rice production were abandoned due to poor design or implementation. {T}he {B}ankandi inland valley ({BIV}) is a contour bunds system developed in 2006 by a development project, currently experiencing a sys-tematic waterlogging. {T}his study assessed: (1) the waterlogging vs. changing hydro-climatic conditions relationship; (2) the hydrological design and implementation of water control infrastructures; and (3) how digital elevation models ({DEM}s) data could be used for inland valleys development. {T}o investigate the waterlogging vs. changing hydro-climatic conditions (precipitation and discharge), the conceptual {HBV} model was applied; coupled with break and trend detections tests. {T}o evaluate the accuracy of the location of drainage flume and contour bunds, a topographic survey using a {D}-{GPS} was per-formed. {T}o explore free {DEM}s as support tool in the development of inland valley, the {S}huttle {R}adar {T}opography {M}ission 1 and the {A}dvanced {S}paceborne {T}hermal {E}mission and {R}eflection {R}adiometer 1, were used. {T}he results show that: (1) the waterlogging was not related to changing environmental conditions; (2) major flaws including bunds not implemented on contour lines contribute to the waterlogging; (3) free {DEM}s were not accurate enough for valley development. {T}he overall diagnostic of {BIV} entails conducting basic hydrological investigations prior to implementation.},
