Senegal River: the level remains stable at Podor, far from the alert level

The hydrological situation of the Senegal River remains stable at Podor. This Thursday, August 20, 2026, the water level recorded at the Quai Elhadj Boubou Sall hydrometric station was 3.40 meters at 8 a.m., exactly the same level recorded the previous day at the same time.

This stability contrasts with the situation observed at the same time last year. The river level was then 4.00 meters, or 60 centimeters higher.

In Podor, the alert level is set at 5 meters. The current level therefore remains below this threshold, although vigilance remains necessary during this rainy period.

The authorities are therefore urging residents living along the river to exercise caution, particularly regarding the supervision of children and animals near waterways. Special attention should also be paid to workplaces and equipment located along the riverbank, including canoes, fishing nets, and floating platforms.

As the trend is currently stationary, monitoring the evolution of the river level remains essential.
