The creek is in Mbao located in the Dakar region and more precisely in the department and the city of Pikine.
The creek is located in the Niayes Senegal. A Niaye is a succession of dunes and dune slacks. These depressions have many pools linked to fluctuations in the groundwater. They have a very rich flora and fauna and diverse cultures are conducive to gardening.
There are two seasons:
- the dry season under the influence of maritime trade winds from the Azores.
- hot and rainy season (winter) from June to October due to monsoon Guinea. Rainfall is scarce and highly variable. The annual average is 500 mm. These last two years, the annual rainfall is above average.
The creek, the water stagnant, is divided into three parts once linked together:
- The first part, upstream, is blocked by the districts of Medina and Kamb. Then, the creek runs through the forest of Mbao and passes close quarters Keur Mbaye Fall, Keur Mbaye Fall Extension Promocap, Diagnenar, Grand Mbao and Gokh.
- The second part is between small and Mbao Gokh
- The third part is in the industrial zone Mbao.
It is fed by rain water that rolled down from Mboro, town situated 40 km from Mbao.
During winter and high tide, the creek suffers intrusion from the ocean.
