The hydrological flow situation of the Niger basin during the month of March was marked by a low flow in all the compartments of the Basin.
The releases of Selingué reservoir in Mali and Kainji reservoir in Nigeria are gradually on-going to support the downstream flows.
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) and Middle Niger in Niamey (Niger).

Note: The hydrological flow situation at the Lower Niger sub-basin was not analyzed due to lack of data from the Lokoja station.
