Planform channel dynamics of the lower Colorado River: 1976–2000
In the past two decades, major flood events have occurred on the lower Colorado River, a dramatic shift from the low flows and moderate floods associated with prior decades of river regulation. This study uses repeat aerial photography and Geographic Information System analysis to examine the planform channel response of the upper Colorado River delta (limitrophe reach) to this recently altered...
متن کاملTime Series Analysis of Floods across the Niger River Basin
This study analyses the increasing number of catastrophic floods in the Niger River Basin, focusing on the relation between long term hydro-climatic variability and flood risk over the last 40 to 100 years. Time series for three subregions (Guinean, Sahelian, Benue) show a general consistency between the annual maximum discharge (AMAX) and climatic decadal patterns in West Africa regarding both...
متن کاملThe Niger River Basin Moisture Sources: A Lagrangian Analysis
The Niger River basin (NRB) is located in the important climatic region of the African Sahel. In this study we use the Lagrangian tridimensional model FLEXPART v9.0 to identify and characterise the moisture sources for the NRB. This method allows the integration of the budget of evaporation minus precipitation over 10-day backward trajectories, thereby identifying the origins of the air masses ...
متن کاملSeasonal Dynamics of Heavy Metal Pollution of Niger Delta River Sediment Receiving Industrial Effluents
The heavy metal changes of Okpoka-Woji River serving as a sink of effluent of industries located in its vicinity within the Trans Amadi Industrial area were monitored over rainy and dry season months in order to follow the seasonal dynamics engendered by the dumping. Sediment samples from six sampling stations located along the river were collected for the determination of heavy metals. The mea...
متن کاملUsing Remote Sensing and GIS in the Analysis of Ecosystem Decline along the River Niger Basin: The Case of Mali and Niger
In the Sub-Saharan African region of the River Niger Basin, where none of the major rivers is fully contained within the borders of a single nation, riverine ecosystem health monitoring is essential for survival. Even the globally proclaimed goals of sustainability and environmental security in the region are unattainable without using geospatial technologies of remote sensing and Geographic In...
