	Records of drilled water boreholes are stored and managed in rural water supply subdirections within the Department of Water in the Ministry of Economic Infrastructure. A JICA (undated but post 2015) report records ~~of a total of~~ 17,532 groundwater wells ~~and boreholes~~, of which 12,639 are boreholes and 4094 are hand dug wells. Most of these are in the Precambrian Basement aquifer, but a large proportion are in the coastal basin aquifers.

	In pre-colonial times, the present day area of Republic of Côte d'Ivoire included part of a number of states, including the Gyaaman, Kong Empire, and Baoulé. Côte d'Ivoire became a protectorate of France in 1843–1844 and a French colony in 1893. During colonial rule, France promoted the development of agricultural plantations along the coast, using forced labour. Côte d'Ivoire won independence in 1960. In the first decades after independence the country was notably stable and the economy grew rapidly, while it maintained close ties to France and neighbouring countries. Since the early 1990s, Côte d'Ivoire has experienced coup d’etat and two civil wars, first from 2002–2007 and again, following disputed elections, in 2010-2011.
