PI20143430 Art. FRACTURE NETWORKS ANALYSIS EXTRACT FROM RADAR IMAGES

Fractured aquifers constitute the main sources of drinking water in hard-rock area. Fractures in the rocks come from different geological processes (tectonic, unloading and weathering processes) and have a variable size (faults, joints...). In rural areas, the population use the water from fractured aquifers (groundwater). Knowledge of this environment is necessary. This study aims to analyze the geometric parameters of the fracturing in the Precambrian rocks at Oumé area (Central West of Côte d’Ivoire) by using statistical and geostatistical methods.
