“Semi-arid regions present important  hydrogeological specificities, especially the strong heterogeneity of physical processes in time and over space, the weakness of water fluxes and the data scarcity. These major characteristics are important constraints for the acquisition and interpretation of field data, but also for the modelling of groundwater flow. Using examples taken from different surveys in various semi-arid countries, mostly in Africa, this presentation emphasizes the necessary precautions in the modelling work, that can be considered simultaneously as a test of the data consistency, a support for the choice between possible assumptions and a help for the water management.”
