Debilitating floods in the Sahel are becoming frequent

Nadir Ahmed Elagib et al.

Summary: The paper discusses the increasing frequency, extent, and destructiveness of floods in the Sahel region. Analysis reveals that floods occur mainly from late July to August, with human activities and urban planning playing a major role in driving catastrophic floods. It emphasizes the importance of understanding flood impacts, controlling water-borne diseases, and compiling reliable flood information for effective flood risk management.
