Geography of Senegal
Senegal is a coastal West African nation located 14 degrees north of the equator and 14 degrees west of the Prime Meridian. The country's total area is 196,190 km2 of which 192,000 km2 is land and 4,190 km2 is water.
70% of the population of Senegal lives in the Coastal Region, so climate change is expected to displace larger parts of the population.
Terrain: generally low, rolling, plains rising to foothills in the southeast.
Natural resources: fish, phosphates, iron ore
Land use:
arable land:
19.57%
permanent crops:
0.28%
other:
80.15% (2011)
Irrigated land: 1,197 km2 (2003)
Total renewable water resources: 38.8 km3
Natural hazards: lowlands seasonally flooded; periodic droughts
