Spatial distribution of water reservoirs in the Sota catchment (Benin, West Africa) and implications for local development

“…It appears that the low presence of reservoirs in the Sota region wouldn’t be due to a single factor nor to the studied (commonly cited) factors but also to others factors such as political orientation, transhumance highly prevailing in West Africa [ 19 , 42 , 43 ], and landform.

Complementation Test of Draft Oxen in Dry Season with Harvest Residues in the Cotton Zone in Northwestern Benin

“…In principle, the producer can increase his profit margin by around 25% to 30%. This knowledge of the costs of the coupling unit and the establishment of a cost monitoring system should therefore make it possible to know at which link the loads must be reduced in order to increase profit [24]. This information can help him to better produce and market his plowing services at a competitive and profitableprice.…”
