Urban flooding in Dakar is caused by heavy rains that overwhelm drainage systems and flood low-lying areas. The impacts of flooding include primary damage to homes and infrastructure, secondary impacts to public health from contaminated water, and tertiary economic impacts. To manage flooding, Dakar implements disaster relief when floods occur and long-term programs to improve sanitation and drainage systems.
