Anthropogenic Effects (of Fuelwood and Water for Domestic and Pastoral Uses in Rural Areas) on Rapid Environmental Degradation and Water Scarcity in Vina Adamaoua-Cameroon

This study aims to assess the degree of impact of changes to these resource reserves due to human use or loss through natural factors.Two vital resources were selected: firewood and water.The Dibi and Mbé areas served as the experimental sites.These two resources are used daily by all households and can be quantified.Regarding firewood, we will limit ourselves to quantifying consumption (firewood or charcoal) in kg/day/ household and water in liters/day/household, then monthly and annually.The environmental impact can be projected into the future by applying the UN equation (2005).
