Impacts des rejets urbains de temps de pluie (RUTP) sur les milieux aquatiques : État des connaissances

Abstract: En milieu urbain, les flux générés par la pluie peuvent transporter vers les hydrosystèmes une partie des éléments polluants accumulés par temps sec et issus des diverses activités humaines. Ces flux polluants sont qualifiés de « rejets urbains par temps de pluie » (RUTP). Les études menées depuis les années 1960 ont permis d’identifier le problème en évaluant l’origine des polluants, les ordres de grandeur des concentrations et les flux émis. Les RUTP présentent un caractère épisodique, mais peuvent avoir des… Show more

“…In the Bafoussam region, agro-pastoral activities have accelerated this degradation of natural environments, favoring the leaching and drainage of fertilizers in streams during intense rain events [43,44]. In addition, the lack of wastewater treatment plants often converts streams into dumping grounds of various kinds of wastes, described by Parent-Raoult and Boisson (2007, [45]) as "urban discharges in rainy weather" and representing a certain health risk for local popula-tions (e.g., proliferation of mosquitoes, epidemics and parasitic diseases) and ecosystems (e.g., biodiversity loss).…”

“…The strong growth observed and predicted in developing countries, added to water resource pressures in the new global context justifies the interest of several research works in recent years [1][2][3][4][5][6]. The literature reports many elements indicating that groundwater and surface water quality, is largely controlled by urban emissions on watersheds [5][6][7][8][9]. In contrast, the need to preserve this resource is growing in terms of climate impacts manifest [10].…”
