Bogué - Travel & Tourism Guide Bogué - Mauritanie

At 205 km east of Rosso, following the Senegal River by a track, you are in Bogué. For several years, the level of the river has been very low, without it being possible to determine the cause(s). The Manantali dam in Mali is mentioned, whose purpose was to produce electricity, to make the river navigable and to provide Chemama with a greater number of irrigated areas. While the surface area of crops has increased, an unexpected consequence has arisen: the virtual disappearance of fish in the river, to the point that today, both in Bogué and Kaédi, the fish marketed comes from Nouakchott!
