Space-Enabled Modeling of the Niger River to Enhance Regional Water Resources Management

Space-Enabled Modeling of the Niger River to Enhance Regional Water Resources Management

Image of the Niger River

River and floodplain landscapes are constantly undergoing change due to natural and manmade processes putting pressure on fluvial systems, such as reservoirs, intensive agriculture, high-impact repetitive droughts and floods and the overall effects of climate change. All these bring about considerable changes, some of which irreversibly degrade ecosystem services, local economies and impact lives, particularly in sensitive transitional zones such as the Sahel region in Africa and its Niger River Basin (NRB).
