About Niger-HYPE
Niger-HYPE version:2.0
HYPE model version:HYPE version 4.6.0 was adapted to better represent the Inland Niger Delta in Mali by including a routine to simulate floodplain dynamics and river surface fluxes.
Geographical domain:The Niger River basin
Model purpose/User Community:The model is currently used to study the potential effects of climatic changes on floods, droughts and other water-related phenomena; and to connect this to adaptation strategies in West Africa. Together with key institutions in the region we also explore the possibility of using the tool for water resources management, education, and operational hydrological warning services.
Calibration:
Joint calibration against 56 daily discharge stations and monthly potential evapotranspiration at 1km2 resolution for the period 1994-2009
Validation:
At the same 56 stations used for calibration for the independent period 1979-1993
At four independent stations for the independent period 1979-1993
