During the month of November, the flow of River Niger was characterized by a low flow situation at the Upper Niger and the Lower Niger. Whereas, at the Inner Delta at Dire and downstream up to Kainji Dam in Nigeria, the water level is continuously rising because of the influence of Black flood.
The filling of the Selingué reservoir in Mali and the Kainji reservoir in Nigeria were still both at normal water level situation.
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)
