3 unusual facts about Bani River


Bani River

The Bani River has three main tributaries: the Baoulé that rises near Odienné in Côte d'Ivoire and passes just south of Bougouni, the Bagoé River that rises near Boundiali in Côte d'Ivoire and the Banifing-Lotio that drains the region around Sikasso.

•

The river enters the Inland Niger Delta north of San and after the annual rains the river floods (the French word crue is sometimes used) and covers the floodplain.

•

In 2006 the Talo Dam was constructed to irrigate parts of the floodplain to the south of the river near the town of San.
