Case Study: Flood Risk in Niamey

This lecture explores the spatial evaluation of flood risk in Niamey, a Sahelian city in Niger, using Geographic Information Systems. It covers the challenges posed by frequent floods, the impact on the population, infrastructure, and the environment, and the measures for risk management. The analysis includes factors like topography, hydrology, and meteorology, leading to the mapping of flood-prone areas and the dynamics of land use over time.
