Gouina Falls, Waterfall on Senegal River, Kayes Region, Mali.

The water cascade reaches a width of 430 meters and drops 16 meters over granite rocks, creating patterns in the river flow.

Early studies for hydroelectric development at Gouina Falls date back to the 1920s, marking the beginning of Mali's energy infrastructure planning.

Local communities near the falls maintain traditional practices of fishing and gathering, adapting their activities to seasonal water flow changes.

The waterfall reaches its highest volume during rainy seasons with 2430 cubic meters per second, while dry seasons reduce flow to 13 cubic meters.

Large circular potholes measuring two meters deep have formed in the rock surface above the falls through centuries of water erosion.
