Monthly Hydrological Bulletin: August 2020

The month of August was characterized by continued rise in flow throughout the entire Niger basin. During the middle of August 2020, the flow at Middle Niger recorded an exceptional local flood resulting from heavy rainfall and inflows from the main tributaries of the right bank river Niger (Gorouol, Dargol, Sirba, Diamangou, Mékrou, Alibori and Sota).
