Land and Resources
Most of Senegal is an undulating plain lying below about 100
m (about 330 ft). Elevations rise above 500 m (above 1640 ft) only in the
extreme southeast in the foothills of the Fouta Djallon (Futa Jallon). The
main rivers are the S้n้gal, which forms the northern boundary, and the
Saloum, Gambia, and Casamance. Although these rivers are subject to seasonal
variations in their flow, all are navigable on their lower courses.
