Assessment of water availability for agricultural activities in the savannah Plateau of Adamawa-Cameroon.

The availability of water for agricultural use in the savannah plateau of Adamawa, Cameroon, is addressed in this paper. Specific field tests coupled with climatic data analysis have helped to characterize the hydrological and hydrogeological conditions of water resources in a small catchment. An agricultural suitability map, based on the water availability during the dry season, is produced.
