After noting and observing changes in the microclimate of Djamd{\`e}, a survey was conducted. At the end of this survey, market gardening was proposed not only to remove the increased pressure on the reserve, but also to provide an income generating activity for this very vulnerable population. The collection of data on existing wells in the vicinity of the site shows that the availability of water for market gardening can be ensured by drilling. A comparative study between a pumping system with a petrol-powered pump and a photovoltaic system in the town of Kara has been carried out. The solar pumping system is by far the most interesting for Djamd{\`e} site. Considering the very high initial investment cost of the components of the solar pumping system, its size can be reduced by organizing and planning the watering of the crops.}, language = {en} }
