The only source of drinking water for the commune of Parakou is the Okpara River. This study lives to identify the constraints of surface water supply in the commune of Parakou. To achieve this objective, the climatic data (temperature and precipitation) of the synoptic station of Parakou and covering the period 1988-2018 are used to quantify and qualify the evolution of the climatic parameters. The sample consists of 118 individuals chosen in a reasoned manner and distributed over the three boroughs that account for the municipality through the technique of Neuchâtel (2014) called « snowball ». The data is processed using statistical tools (frequency, percentage, tables and graphic illustrations). The sample consists of 118 individuals chosen in a reasoned manner and distributed over the three districts of the municipality. From this study it appears that the average rainfall, from 1988 to 2018, of the town of Parakou is 1183.13 mm, which allows it to have a more or less permanent amount of surface water. However, supply difficulties exist. In addition, around 40 % of the population has difficulty obtaining drinking water. In addition, periods of water shortages occur in the dry season. This situation leads subscribers to alternately use several types of water.

Abstract: (french)
L’unique source d’approvisionnement en eau potable de la commune de Parakou est la rivière de l’Okpara. Cette étude vies à identifier les contraintes d’approvisionnement en eau de surface dans la commune de Parakou. Pour atteindre cet objectif, les données climatiques (température et précipitation) de la station synoptique de Parakou et couvrant la période 1988-2018 sont utilisées afin de quantifier et de qualifier l’évolution des paramètres climatiques. L’échantillon est constitué de 118 individus choisis de façon raisonnée et réparties sur les trois arrondissements que compte la commune à travers la technique de Neuchâtel (2014) dite « boule de neige ». Le traitement des données est fait au moyen des outils statistiques (fréquence, pourcentage, tableaux, illustrations graphiques) L’échantillon est constitué de 118 individus choisis de façon raisonnée et réparties sur les trois arrondissements que compte la commune. De cette étude il ressort que la pluviométrie moyenne, de 1988 à 2018, de la commune de Parakou est de 1183,13 mm, ce qui lui permet de disposer d’une quantité d’eau de surface plus ou moins permanente. Toutefois, des difficultés d’approvisionnement existent. Par ailleurs, environ 40 % la population rencontre des difficultés à s’approvisionner en eau potable. De plus les périodes de pénuries d’eau surviennent en saison sèche. Cette situation amène les abonnés à utiliser alternativement plusieurs types d’eau.
