## Abstract The inner delta of the River Niger receives runoff from both the River Niger and the River Bani (249 000 km^2^) and is divided into a northern part (15 000 km^2^) and a southern part (58 000 km^2^). The average input and output discharges are approximately 1490 and 900 m^3^ s^โ1^ (1955/
The Niger delta is intensely dissected by a network of rivers which erode and continuously reshape their banks resulting in net riverbank recessions. The rates of bank recession depend on season, soil type, bank height and stratigraphy, flow velocity and relative location along the river system. Ban
