Based on the information available on 11 October, we predict that the flood of 2013 will be as high as in 2007, 2008 and 2009 and nearly as high as in 2010 and 2012. The prediction of the peak flood has not changed any more since 3 September and will not change anymore.
The water level in Mopti amounted to 618 cm on 11 October. The water level has increased 9 cm last 10 days and most likely it will increase still some cm the coming days and reach its peak half October. The water level in the northern half of the Delta will still go up until November in Akka and Dire.
