The potential of satellite radar altimetry in flood forecasting: concept and implementation for the Niger-Benue River Basin by Pandey, Rajesh, Amarnath, Giriraj

“…Flood forecasting in the downstream part of any hydrological basin is extremely difficult due to the lack of basin-wide hydrological information in near real-time and the absence of a data-sharing treaty among the transboundary nations. The accuracy of forecasts emerging from a hydrological model could be compromised without prior knowledge of the day-to-day flow regulation at different locations upstream of the Niger and Benue rivers. …”
