The Azawagh forms the northeastern sections of the Niger River Basin, although today the Azawagh River is long dry, and the area is fed by seasonal underground rivers at best

The Azawagh (alias Azaouagh or Azawak) is a dry basin covering what is today the northwestern Niger, as well as parts of northeastern Mali and southern Algeria.[1] The Azawagh is mainly made up of Sahelian and Saharan flatlands and has a population that is predominantly Tuareg, with some Arabic-speaking and Wodaabe minorities and a recent influx of Hausa and Zarma.
