Lessons learnt from the design and implementation of a gazetteer for monitoring the water physicochemical parameters in Gabon: Spatiotemporal and toponymic approach

The objective of this paper is to propose a methodology aimed at setting up a gazetteer dedicated to the monitoring of the water physicochemical parameters in Gabon. The project, initiated by the National Center for Oceanographic Data and Information (CNDIO), uses a network of mobile and fixed sensors spread over the Gabonese territory. In this article, a study of foreshadowing has been initiated and the publication of which constitutes the first point of advancement. Two problems are specifically mentioned: the need to create an observation network in the light of the needs of managers and researchers, as well as the potential missions of such a directory in connection with university or government projects initiated for this purpose.
