Made up of four specific objectives, each specific objective has been achieved. Lot of data, materials and methods have been used during this study. Results showed that floods in Bamako are not due to the extreme rainfall only. Also HBV and HEC-HMS models were used to assess the flood forecasting system through the NCEP rainfall data.
