Darcy and Apparent Velocities of Groundwater in Phreatic Aquiferous Formations in Kumba– Cameroon: Determined by use of Trigger-Tube Tracer Test Method in Dug Wells
Author(s): Akoachere Richard Ayuk and Ngwese Yolande Mesode
Kumba with a population of about 144,413 people is the capital of Meme Division, in the Southwest region is one of the largest cocoa cash crop producing areas in Cameroon. The inhabitants depend mostly on groundwater through dug wells. It has a hot and humid equatorial climate with annual rainfall 2298-3400 mm and annual temperature 27° C with a short dry season (December to March) and a long rainy season (April to November). There is a need for a good understanding of the hydraulic properties of the aquiferous formations for the planning and management of the groundwater resources of this area. Twenty-one hand-dug wells at different sites in Kumba were tested using sodium chloride (NaCl) as a conservative tracer, by use of the trigger-tube tracer test m... view more»
