The hydrological situation in the Niger basin during the month of February was characterized by a continued decline in flows across the entire basin except the Lower Niger sub- basin.
The Selingué dam in Mali has begun gradual release to support downstream flow.
The data used for the various analyses below came from hydrological observation networks of the National Hydrological Services and Dam Authorities of nine (9) member countries of Niger Basin Authority. (NBA)
The flow analysis situation was carried out by dividing the basin into three (4) sub-catchments also represented with reference gauging stations as follows: Upper Niger at Koulikoro (Mali), Inland Delta at Dire (Mali), Middle Niger at Niamey (Niger) and Lower Niger at Lokoja (Nigeria)
