  abstract = {{T}he flood of the {S}enegal {R}iver is a resource for the populations of the {S}enegal valley, who practise agriculture, fishing and livestock farming in the annually flooded areas. {T}he objective of this paper is to investigate the hydrological evolution of the {S}enegal {R}iver flood since the drought of the 1970s and the construction and management of the {M}anantali {D}am. {T}o this purpose, the paper analyses the evolution of several parameters of the flood hydrograph and defines the factors that determine the intensity of the flood. {A}lso, a follow-up of the flooded areas in the valley is carried out using remote sensing. {T}he results show that the flood hydrograph has been similar since the 1970s drought, due to the reduction in contributions from the {B}afing after the construction of the {M}anantali {D}am. {A}s a result, the high floods depend now on the rainfall pattern in the {S}udano-{S}ahelian zone of the watershed.},
