The hydrological situation in February was characterized by a continued decline in flows across the entire basin.
However, low water levels continued in the Upper and Lower Niger sub-basins. The Guinean flood has begun to recede in the Middle Niger sub-basin.
The release of the Sélingué dam in Mali is gradually continuing to support downstream flows, while the Kainji dam has reached its full level.
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)
