description Abstract What about Water Markets in Senegal’s Ferlo Region? The Case of the Communes of Barkedji and Dodji Numerous reforms, in a context of incomplete decentralisation, have succeeded in introducing the rule of selling water to users. From colonial times to the present day, efforts have been made in the rural water sub-sector in the Ferlo. This paper explores a new aspect of access to services in rural areas, namely the disparity between water markets for different boreholes. We hypothesise that user pricing of water is more reasonable than a single imposed tariff. The article is based on several research studies carried out in Senegal and abroad, and on the results of surveys conducted in 2023 in two communes, Barkédji and Dodji. In short, this article provides a spatial analysis of water trading infrastructures, uses and the interplay of players in the water market.
