Korientzé

Korientzé stands at the northern end of the inland Niger delta, beside the lake that bears its name. Lake Korientzé forms part of a cluster of floodwaters with nearby Débo and Walado, where channels spread the Niger's waters across the plain. Floating bourgou grass grows in the flooded delta, providing pasture when the waters fall. Fishing on Lake Korientzé has its own local authorities: the water chief receives payments from those who fish there.
