title: Multipurpose use and water quality challenges in Lac de Guiers (Senegal).
abstract: Lac de Guiers (Guiers Lake) is a shallow lake in West Africa. Its waters are used mainly for irrigation and drinking water. Recent engineering in the Senegal River Valley has changed the lake's functioning and led to new water quality conditions. This article describes the water quality effects of the management of the lake and use of its waters, with special emphasis on salinity and eutrophication.
