[HOT] Mapping Bassikounou, Mauritania - ICRC request

[Pierre Béland]

I cannot spot water wells. The pattern I see in this area is that there is often what seems to be a pond inside the walls of habitations.

Andrew and others might be better then me to spot if any water wells.

I checked on OpenCycleMap and seems this area is not as low as Bassikounou itself. But I can ask the ICRC Watasan local staff in charge of the field assessment.

Interesting. can you recognize such situation around Bassikounou? Would be good to document this with the examples provided through the discussions for Mali
