| Résumé anglais |
The Sudanese-Sahelian region has been affected by drought, a condition characterized by its long duration, its intensity and its southwards extension. In Senegal average isohyets for the periods 1931-1960 and 1961- 1990, 1970-1993, using data from 32 rainfall stations reveal the southern migration of the different climatic regimes. The reduction in rainfall has resulted in damage to the natural environment. Drought leads to destruction of vegetation. Soils suffer from erosion and gullying. Acidification and salinisation are accentuated, especially in the area of Casamance and the Saloum estuary. Wind deflation is intensified. Source : Éditeur (via Persée) |
