Abstract
This presentresearchaims to evaluate the flow rates of the Konkoure watershed in the Mamou area based on rainfall data for a 42-year observation series (1971-2012), in order to estimate the energypotential and the productivity of the site. To evaluate flow rates, wetransformedprecipitationinto flow rates using the rational method. This researchallowed us to determineseveralresults, the main ones of whichare: the maximum average flow (22956.4 m3/s) observedin 1976, the minimum average flow (15018.4 m3/s) observedin 2002, the interannualaverage flow (18475.59 m3/s), the choice of the calculationyearwhich corresponds to 2003, the flood return periodis 43 yearswith a probability of exceeding 2.3%, the gross power (421102, 1 kW), a dailyproductivity of 10106.45 MWh/d.
