In Burkina Faso, human activities around water points in rural areas affect groundwater resources, which become unfit for consumption. Nearly 33.5% of boreholes are subject to point source pollution. The assessment of the evolution of such pollution should be monitored to assess groundwater quality. In addition, withdrawals for irrigation alone are estimated at 85%, i.e. 46% of the water demand, heightening the deterioration in quality while creating depression zones further leading to an increase in recharge. It is therefore critical to understand the evolution and fate of the transfer of pollutants in such environments. In this study, we aimed to model the transfer of pollutant and predict the future state of pollution using the MT3D-USGS Groundwater Solute Transport Simulator code through the Groundwater Modelling Software (GMS) over the period 2012–2062 (50 years). A mathematical model is further developed through inferential statistics and used as a surrogate model for comparison. The results showed that deterioration in water quality was more attributable to withdrawals, especially for Cyanide (Cn) and Arsenic (As). A rather slow degradation is reported for Lead (Pb), which extends over 22 km, and Fluoride (F), which extends from 4 to 10 km due to localized recharge. A faster degradation for Cn over a distance of 2–16 km and as from 3 to 11 km is also observed because of the geological setting of the subsoil. These results might assist decision-makers for the quantitative and qualitative management of groundwater resources, and the management of the basement aquifer in the area through the establishment of protection zones.

This paper aims to establish an analytic relation between a time-varying conditional copula and the value at risk modeled by the underlying. Specically, under the asumption that the space is euclidean we use scalar product to clarify a link between the conditional copula varying with time and norms. It is then established a new expression on the geometric yield
Our objective in the development of this document, was to establish an estimate of the average of di erent variables in particular, the case of daily contamination of covid-19, the case of recovery and finally the case of lethality of COVID-19 in Burkina to give an idea of the real rate of contamination in Burkina Faso. To achieve this objective we used the tools of inferential statistics.

The aim of this paper is to provide an approximation of the value-at-risk of the multivariate copula associated with financial loss and profit function. A higher dimensional extension of the Taylor–Young formula is used for this estimation in a Euclidean space. Moreover, a time-varying and conditional copula is used for the modeling of the VaR.

The definition of a copula function and the study of its properties are at the same time not obvious tasks, as there is no general method for constructing them. In this paper, we present a method that allows us to obtain a class of copula as a solution to a boundary value problem. For this, we use the finite difference method which is a common technique for finding approximate solutions of partial differential equations which consists in solving a system of relations (numerical scheme) linking the values of the unknown functions at certain points sufficiently close to each other.
