Water resources Côte d’Ivoire has an average annual rainfall of 1,240 mm (AMCOW 2018). The country has three agroecological zones, with varying amounts of rainfall: in the north, the Sudanian zone receives 900– 1,200 mm/year of rainfall, in the south, the Guinean zone receives more than 1,500 mm/year of rainfall, and in the centre, the Sudanian-Guinean zone receives 1,200–1,500 mm/year of rainfall (FAO 2016). The country’s aqueduct water stress for all sectors measured in 2010 was 0.00 and is projected to increase to 0.15 by 2040 (Luo et al. 2015). A score of 0.15 indicates that there is low competition among water users relative to available surface-water resources.
