  abstract = {{F}ormed on the upper basin by the annual monsoon, the flood of {S}enegal {R}iver inundates a vast floodplain on its lower course, called "the valley". {T}his one, several hundred kilometres long, can be regarded as an inland delta. {T}his annual flooding, which offers ecosystem services and promotes traditional activities, must be maintained despite the presence on the {B}afing of the {M}anantali reservoir dam, which controls since 1987 half of the river flows through the valley. {I}n addition to its other objectives (energy production, low water support for irrigation and navigation, mitigation of too high floods), this dam therefore achieves a flood support, designed to maintain adequate flood in the valley. {H}ere we present a decision support system dedicated to flood support that aims to: 1) define a flood hydrograph goal for {S}enegal river, according to a target area of recession crops; 2) define the optimal date for flood support, in order to penalize the least possible energy production at the dam; 3) calculate the discharges to release of the dam to support the flood, according to the real-time hydrological situation known. {W}e finally analyse the respective impacts of natural climate hazard and of {M}anantali dam on the river's flood observed.},
