Dogo

Dogo lies in the inland Niger delta, among the channels, lakes and floodplains that spread out from the great river. Seasonal floods transform the surrounding country, bringing water and fish to low-lying ground and leaving grazing and fields as they recede. The nearby Lake Débo is one of the largest bodies of water in this network. Farmers, fishers and herders have long relied on different parts of the delta as the waters change through the year.
