The Bankandi inland valley (BIV) is a contour bunds system developed in 2006 by a development project, currently experiencing a sys-tematic waterlogging. This 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 (DEMs) data could be used for inland valleys development. To investigate the waterlogging vs. changing hydro-climatic conditions (precipitation and discharge), the conceptual HBV model was applied; coupled with break and trend detections tests. To evaluate the accuracy of the location of drainage flume and contour bunds, a topographic survey using a D-GPS was per-formed. To explore free DEMs as support tool in the development of inland valley, the Shuttle Radar Topography Mission 1 and the Advanced Spaceborne Thermal Emission and Reflection Radiometer 1, were used. The 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 DEMs were not accurate enough for valley development. The overall diagnostic of BIV entails conducting basic hydrological investigations prior to implementation. specialized BURKINA FASO 062 098 126 5 4 1733-1741 2019 2363-6211 https://www.documentation.ird.fr/hor/fdi:010076896 10.1007/s40808-019-00628-5 2363-6211 [F B010076896] https://www.documentation.ird.fr/hor/fdi:010076896 https://www.documentation.ird.fr/intranet/publi/depot/2019-11-19/010076896.pdf Accès réservé (Intranet de l'IRD) IRD - Base Horizon / Pleins textes 2019-11-12 2025-02-24 fdi:010076896 fre
