... Chad basin is the largest area of inland drainage basin in Africa (Fig. 4), covering an area of 2,434,000 km 2 (UNEP 2004). The Nigerian sector constitute about 7% of the Chad basin (UNEP 2004) and this area falls within the semi-arid region of Nigeria with average annual rainfall generally below 500 mm and evapotranspiration in excess of 2000 mm. Topographically the area is a monotonous plain, tilted towards ...

... and Niger are both in the 10 most water impoverished countries of the world, with Niger being rated the second lowest (UNEP, 2003). Figure 14 below shows the mean monthly river flows for river Yobe from 1963-68 between Gashua and Yau. The difference between the values of discharge in each gauging station gives an idea on the volume of flow per km; hence, the river coefficient could be 1963 1965 1967 1969 1971 1973 1975 1977 1979 1981 1983 figure shows that the discharge at Yau is small compared to that at either Geidam or Gashua. ...
