	Senegal River - LoveToKnow 1911 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-17)
		It is formed by the junction of the Bafing or Black river and the Bakhoy or White river, and its chief affluent is the Faleme.
		The lower Senegal forms the boundary between the Sahara and the western Sudan; the line of its inundations is an ethnographic march between the nomadic Berber and the settled Negro.
		The mouth of the Senegal, then called Senaga, was entered in 1445 by the Portuguese navigator Dinas Diaz (who thought it a western arm of the Nile), and in 1455 Cadamosto ascended the river for some distance.

	Senegal (river) - Hutchinson encyclopedia article about Senegal (river)
		River in West Africa, formed by the confluence of the Bafing and Bakhoy rivers and flowing 1,125 km/700 mi northwest and west to join the Atlantic Ocean near Saint-Louis, Senegal.
		In 1968 the Organization of Riparian States of the River Senegal (Guinea, Mali, Mauritania, and Senegal) was formed to develop the river valley, including a dam for hydroelectric power and irrigation at Joina Falls in Mali; its headquarters is in Dakar.
		The river forms the northern border of Senegal with Mauritania, and is vital to both countries because of the agricultural potential of its seasonally flooded clay plains, extensive in the middle and lower reaches of the valley, where local rainfall is less than 250 mm/10 in, insufficient for normal agriculture.

		It is drained by the 1,800 km-long Senegal river, the second longest river of West Africa, and its main tributaries, the Bafing, Bakoye and Faleme Rivers, all three of which have their source in the Fouta Djallon mountains (Guinea).
		The Diama dam, located near the mouth of the Senegal River in the delta, serves to block seawater intrusion and thereby protect water and irrigation wells, and raises the level of the upstream water body, creating reserves to enable irrigation and double cropping.
		This deterioration is caused primarily by eutrophication due to a reduction of the flow velocity and oxygenation of the water, due to the new dams and dikes, the proliferation of water weeds, and chemical and biological pollution related to the discharge of wastewater and pesticides into the river.

	Example: Sénégal River Delta
		Two dams have been constructed on the river: one at Diama, near to the mouth of the river, is designed to exclude saline water, while the other, situated at Manantali in Mali, is a hydroelectric dam.
		Examples are taken from the right bank (Mauritania) and the left bank (Senegal) of the delta of the Senegal River, to illustrate both the overall situation of the valley's natural environment and the environmental policies practised -or neglected - by the governments concerned.
		In Senegal, this is the Comité National de Planification, de Coordination et de Suivi du Développement de la Vallée du Fleuve Sénégal (National Planning, Coordinating and Development-Promoting Committee for the Senegal River Valley, or CNPCS) and its executive department, the post-dam group.
