The N'Zi at Dimbokro

The N'Zi at Dimbokro

The N'Zi is a river that runs in the Ivory Coast ( Côte d'Ivoire ).

course

It rises in the north of the country near the city of Kong and runs south. The first half of the river flows through dry, sparsely populated areas. After crossing the Fétékro Mountains, the valley widens and the gradient decreases. The N'Zi flows into the Bandama near the town of N'Zianouan .

The Dimbokro Railway Bridge , a steel truss bridge , leads the Abidjan-Niger Railway across the river.

Hydrometry

The flow rate of the river was measured in Dimbokro in the 1950s and 1960s at over 2/3 of the catchment area in m³ / s. It should be noted that the fluctuations between the years are unusually high and the following diagram only reflects reality to a limited extent.
