Abstract

The Sustainable Management Project (RSM) of Sanghe area, Rural Community (RC) of Notto Diobass, region of Thies in Senegal, is the implementation of control technologies against water erosion that is the main soil degradation in the rural community region. It affects about 80% of the area and, to address this degradation, extensive diagnostic recommendations made by the Senegalese Institute of Agricultural Research (ISRA) focus on comprehensive care of this deterioration through actions in trays, basins and crop areas. To do this, several meetings and site visits were conducted. They led to the concerted following decision: the first action will be used to apply treatment technologies to trays and secondly to slope sand areas of crops recovered. The present study aims mainly the second action that is to say, the technical study for the treatment of slopes and ravines of the Sanghe area.
