Thissurvey aims to identify the ways water resources are managed and the health related problems that occur in the commune ofBonou. The data used for this survey has beencollected and treated, and the results are analysed. The results show that rain water, wells, rivers and boreholes are thewater supply sources in the commune. In 2012, out of a total population of 35 556 inhabitants, only 10 471 peoplehad access to safe drinking water, i.e. a communal rate of 29.5%.
