Monthly hydrological Buletin. August 2018

The hydrological situation in the Niger basin during the month of August 2018 was characterized by the continuous increase in flow in some catchment of Niger River Basin as a result of effective installation of rainy season.

The filling of Selingue Dam in Mali and Kainji Dam in Nigeria is ongoing.

The flow analysis situation was carried out on the four sub-catchments basin using the data recorded from the reference gauging stations which are: Upper Niger at Koulikoro (Mali), Inland Delta at Dire (Mali), Middle Niger in Niamey (Niger) and Lower Niger at Lokoja (Nigeria) as shown in figure 1.
