Information is provided about flood management practices in the Niger River Inland Delta of Mali, which are based on a mix of over two hundred years old traditions very specific to the geo-morphological characteristics of the delta and the activities of its inhabitants. These practices are supported by structural measures and by a series of laws and regulations for the water sector.
