As water is the most important resource that justifies the presence and the development of wildlife, the management of surface water has always been a major concern of Reserves managers. In the Biosphere Reserve of Pendjari, located in the Sudanian zone in Benin, the spatio-temporal water availability was studied. The results showed that at the beginning of the dry season, there were 103 water points and that density would be sufficient to satisfy the needs of fauna. That potential was reduced by 64% before rainy season. The density hides an aggregative distribution and concentration of water points along Pendjari River all the dry season, especially at the end of the dry season. Water stres
