Presentation Transcript

  1. Upper Niger River Basin Inner Delta • Climate: West African monsoon • Niger Inner Delta • Large region (64 000 km2) with floodplains used for agriculture, fishery and livestock • Flooded area varying seasonally with maximum extent ranging from 18000 km2 to 35000 km2 • Complex hydrodynamics • Modeling for water resources management • Definition of dam releases • Depending on water demand, hydric state, available water in reservoirs • Hydrology, hydraulics, water demand (allocation) • Main limitations • Model approximations • Data availability (few gauge stations, gaps, delay) • Transboundary basin (data sharing) Use of remote sensing data: SWOT Fomi Sélingué

  2. SWOT data assimilation (every 12 days) in a reservoir model to improve the representation of reservoir levels and then make more efficient dam releases Markala forcings Selingue (2.109 m3) Fomi (2020, 6.106 m3) VIC Upper Niger river basin SWOT data assimilation (ZSWOT) Qin Reservoir model (Z) Reservoir rule (Zrule) dam release Qout

  3. SWOT data assimilation (water level and surface extent) in a hydrodynamic model of the upper Niger river including the Inner Delta to improve reservoir rule (dam release curve) forcings VIC Qin Inner Delta Reservoir model (Z) Reservoir rule (Zrule) Qrelease SWOT data assimilation (ZSWOT) Hydrodynamic model (Z,Q) Qout Selingue
