Depuis les annees 80, le Maroc comme de nombreux pays du continent Africain s’est lance dans une politique de petits barrages en parallele aux grands ouvrages de mobilisation des ressources en eaux de surface. Cette politique repond aux defis des secheresses recurrentes qui ont secoue le pays. Mais aussi, aux besoins de developpement des zones qui ne se pretent pas a des projets de plus grande envergure. Le nombre de sites de ce type de barrages techniquement faisables est estime a cinq cents. Le but de ces ouvrages est de collecter les eaux destinees a des usages multiples, notamment l’irrigation, l’abreuvement du betail, la recharge de la nappe, la prevention des inondation et dans certains cas l’alimentation en eau de boisson. Plus recemment, la politique des petits barrages a ete reiteree par le gouvernement. Ce qui laisse entendre que leur construction va se poursuivre dans le futur. A present, le nombre de petits barrages tous types confondus a depasse la centaine. Cependant, leur impact sur la sante et le bien etre des populations beneficiaires, sur l’environnement ainsi que leur valeur ajoutee au niveau local et national reste a determiner. L’experience de certains petits barrages au Maroc et dans d’autres pays africains demontre qu’ils peuvent dans certains cas poser des problemes lies au faible impact social et economique, favoriser l’introduction de maladies eaux dependantes et posent parfois des problemes techniques lies au choix du site, a l’envasement ou aux fuites et ruissellement de l’eau du reservoir. Le manque de mesures d’accompagnement peut dans certains cas limiter l’elan de developpement escompte. La presente communication a pour objectif de discuter, sur la base d’etudes de cas, les solutions envisageables et pouvant optimiser l’impact des petits barrages pour en faire un levier de developpement durable dans les zones enclavees notamment de montagne.

This tool contains guidelines intended to reduce the health risks and increase the health benefits from small reservoirs. Guidelines are structured in a step-wise manner, beginning with the identification of relevant health issues and concluding with small reservoir design and operation for improved human health. The guidelines focus on: major water-related diseases associated with small reservoirs in Africa, the added value of community participation in health impact assessment, opportunities to mitigate risks and improve human health through better planning and operation of small reservoirs, and improved planning, design, and management options.

This tool describes the use of school surveys, an important tool that supports both participatory and biomedical research. When epidemiological studies are carried out at the same time, a local quantitative relationship between measured and reported infection rates can be established and the questionnaire can be applied in a larger area to assess prevalence at the level of the reservoir cluster or river basin. Such questionnaires can be adapted for other diseases and to fit varying local circumstances.

(Location: IWMI HQ Call no: e-copy only Record No: H042668)
This tool uses standard biomedical methodologies to determine infection rates for key water-related (or “reservoir-related”) diseases including schistosomiasis and other intestinal parasites, and malaria. In any particular locale there may be a completely different set of priorities with regard to reservoir-related health issues. Therefore, it is always wise to check with local health personnel about priorities, and to sample local communities’ perceptions with respect to reservoir-related problems. For diseases and infections not described in this tool, local health professionals, literature, and the internet provide good starting points.

One of the health risks of small reservoirs is the potential for increased transmission of water-related diseases, in particular, parasitic infections dependent on water-based “vectors”. The design, use, and management of reservoirs all influence their suitability as breeding grounds for disease vectors. This tool describes the use of selected methods to help stakeholders understand the ecological preferences of vector organisms in relation to small reservoirs. This is an important step in identifying management options for environmental disease control.

Some rural populations are dependent on small reservoirs for their water supply and are concerned about the quality of this water for direct consumption and other uses. Chemical and biological water quality measurements can be made to ascertain the suitability of water for different uses. Water “suitability” of course, depends on the use for which it is intended. This tool describes selected methods for assessing the suitability of reservoir water quality.

Using mutually agreed indicators facilitates communication among the key stakeholders and is helpful when planning new small reservoirs. Indicator definitions chosen from the literature should be tailored to local conditions to take into account of the field experience of local experts. Planners should pay special attention to the development and use of impact indicators, including those defined together with the community as being most efficient in measuring change. This tool based on a case study conducted in Morocco demonstrates how this may be done.
