Blue Book: Niger

The Millennium Endeavor

Niger is a vast and arid country (in the wettest zone in the country, precipitation is still less than 800 mm per year). The surface water, which is essentially the Niger river, is relatively important, even if only 1% is being exploited. About 20% of the renewable groundwater is exploited with strong technical constraints in some areas (the productive aquifer lies very deep and is therefore expensive to reach). In terms of water resources, the country as a whole is therefore in a reasonably favorable position.
