  abstract = {{T}o face the difficulties involved in supplying freshwater to {A}bidjan ({C}ote d'{I}voire), the {A}ghien {L}agoon connected by a channel to the {P}otou-ebrie lagoon is a potential resource for production of drinking water. {A} hydro-meteorological network was installed with the objective of assessing the sustainability of the lagoon in terms of both quantity and quality, and 10 sampling campaigns were conducted between {J}une 2015 and {D}ecember 2016 to evaluate the water quality. {E}ven if the annual flow of the two peri-urban tributaries is just equivalent to the volume of the lagoon, the large daily inflow by the channel can secure the future quantitative demand. {U}nfortunately, the main tributaries in the peri-urban zones have lacked sanitation services and present numerous markers of pollution. {E}ven if the water quality status of the lagoon remains quite good with respect to total nitrogen and total phosphorus, it nevertheless presents a high potential risk of eutrophication.},
