This study examines compound hydrological hazards in a non-stationary context, specifically focusing on the Niger River in Niamey. The hazard results from the confluence of local Sahelian and more remote Guinean tributaries, displaying seasonal floods. The study first investigates whether Niamey’s annual flood hazard is a compound result of Sahelian and Guinean flows, and then assesses the value of a compound hazard approach versus traditional flood analyses in this region.
This study focuses on the development of a people-centred early warning system (EWS) against floods in the Sirba River basin between Niger and Burkina Faso. This densely populated area has witnessed an increase in extreme flooding events in recent years. Several flood forecasting systems in the Sahel exist, although there is no EWS that integrates the four components of people-centred EWSs, namely risk knowledge, monitoring and warning service, dissemination and
The increasingly frequent pluvial flood of West African urban settlements indicates the need to investigate the drivers of local rainfall changes. However, meteorological stations are few, unevenly distributed, and work irregularly. Daily satellite rainfall datasets can be used. Nevertheless, these products often need to be more accurate due to sensor errors and limitations in retrieval algorithms. The problem is, therefore, how to characterize rainfall where there is a need for

“The scientist does not study nature because it is useful to do so. He studies it because he takes pleasure in it, and he takes pleasure in it because it is beautiful. If nature were not beautiful it would not be worth knowing, and life would not be worth living.”
Shafer, M. (2008).
“Do we, as scientists, need to concern ourselves with whether or how the information is used?”
