Minimum tillage for soil and water management with animal traction in the West-African region by Alioune Fall and Adama Faye Agricultural Mechanisation, ISRA/CRA Djibélor, Animal Scientist, Coopération Suiss) Abstract The paper reviews the utilization levels of animal traction for better soil and water management, through conservation tillage in the West Africa region. Various tools and techniques used by farmers are reported. Recommendations in order to improve farmers' environmental conditions for better agricultural productivity and sustainability have been proposed. 1. Introduction et al. A number of research studies, conducted both on-station and on-farm throughout the region, have shown that sustainability of cropping systems is better achieved when agricultural practices are aimed at improving plant-soil-water relations. 1.1 Objective The objectives of this paper are: to review the use of animal traction in the region towards better soil-water management through conservation tillage, to identify the most suitable tools and techniques available to farmers and to formulate recommendations in order to improve farm environmental conditions for enhanced sustainability.

Case Studies: Sahelian Farming Soil and Water Management Techniques for Plant Resources Conservation in the Northern Burkina Faso Overview: Agriculture in the Sahelian zone like the northern part of Burkina Faso is essentially rainfed. Because of frequent droughts and land degradation, it is more and more difficult for crops to have enough water during their growing period. Farmers of this region have developed several soil and water management techniques like stony lines associated or not with the Zai system. This consists of digging holes during the dry season, putting a small quantity of manure into them and waiting for the raining season to sow seeds. Other techniques have been developed in this region over the past 20 years by many development projects, NGOs with the assistance of research institutions. Scale Field, farm, landscape, region Location: The site is located at 2.7 ºW, 14.0 º N in the Yatenga province near the town of Ouahigouya

Collaborative Research Program for Sustainable Agricultural Development in Central Asia and the Caucasus The CAC Region: Current Projects Significant Achivement New Initiatives CAC Newsletter ... Publications 2. Soil and Water Management Alongside the difficulties associated with a transitional period, one of the major reasons of low agricultural productivity is poor natural resource management. In the past, the use of natural resources was mainly focused on rather short-term economic developments, which contributed to serious environmental disasters that continue to have an impact on current economic growth. Therefore, in Central Asia and the Caucasus, there are critical problems common to the efficient management of water and land. These problems include: allocation and rational use of natural resources, deficiencies in available technologies and their adoption due to poor knowledge dissemination, insufficient financial, institutional and policy support. Efficient water use is the main challenge in CAC region In addition, agrarian reforms and attention to socio-economic problems have progressed at different rates in countries of the CAC region. Those countries that have moved ahead with de-collectivization and privatization of land are also encountering problems arising from the fragmentation of land, and the sharing of water, particularly the management of large-scale irrigation systems to meet the demands of various small scale farmers.

Grassed waterways A grassed waterway is a broad, shallow, and permanently vegetated channel designed to safely convey concentrated surface run-off from fields to a stable drainage outlet. The vegetative cover reduces water speed and retains soil sediments as a filtration agent. Benefits of grassed waterways Protects drainage route from gully erosion Acts as a filter by absorbing surface water chemical content Provides wildlife with a habitat Wetlands Constructed wetlands are used for several types of waste water treatment. They have the ability of removing most types of organic pollutants which is really useful in rural areas. They can treat water waste from barnyard run-off, milkhouse wash water and also household sewage treatment. Wetland soils have particular characteristics such as being water-saturated with fine texture particles due to being under water for an extended period of time. These conditions favor hydrophilic or water tolerant plants. Plants frequently found in constructed wetlands are cattails, soft wishes, marsh marigolds, burr reeds, water iris, horsetail and arrowhead. Role of plants in wetlands Act as physical settling mechanism by slowing down the water flow and allowing the suspended solids to settle out Provides a surface area and a litter layer for the growth of microorganisms Transports oxygen to and from the root zone, creating an area called the
