| Abstract | In many parts of the world, inventories of small reservoirs are unreliable, out-of-date, or unavailable. Evaluation of the potential for small reservoirs at national or regional scales, however, and strategic planning of future reservoir infrastructure in selected areas, depends on accurate information. It is important to have a synoptic perspective regarding “where reservoirs are”. In West Africa, Burkina Faso appears to be the country with the highest density of small reservoirs. Here, as elsewhere, there is a constant demand to create new reservoirs. Little information has been available, however, regarding the existing spatial distribution of small reservoirs or the spatial dynamics of new reservoir construction. |
