The study concerning the "Bakel-Small Perimeters" by the Senegal Government Agency, SAED, was reviewed with particular emphasis on verifying the recommended elevations for the flood protection dikes. The dike elevations were based on historical flood heights as remembered by the local villagers. The floods in the marigots, as observed by villagers, were usually about 1.0 meter lower than the floods crests recorded on the main river channel.
