Monthly hydrological buletin August 2014

1.0 INTRODUCTION

The hydrological flow situation in the Niger basin during the month of August was characterized by continued increase of flows in most sub-basins.

The flow analysis situation was carried out by dividing the basin into the four sub-catchments also represented with reference gauging stations as follows: The Upper Niger at Koulikoro (Mali), the Inner Delta at Dire (Mali), The Middle Niger in Niamey (Niger), The Lower Niger at Lokoja (Nigeria) as shown in figure 1.
