The Inner Niger Delta, also known as the Macina or Masina, [2] is the inland river delta of the Niger River. It is an area of fluvial wetlands, lakes and floodplains in the semi-arid Sahel area of central Mali , just south of the Sahara Desert .
An unusual feature of the river is the Inner Niger Delta, which forms where its gradient suddenly decreases. [20] The result is a region of braided streams, marshes, and large lakes; the seasonal floods make the Delta extremely productive for both fishing and agriculture.

The Niger Delta is made up of various networks of rivers and creeks mostly distributaries of the Niger River. [8] The soils of the delta vary by the shifting rivers and creeks, with sand and loam marking the remains of old levees, water-logged heavy clay in the backswamps behind the levees, and silty loam and clay on the higher ground.

River deltas typically form on flat, coastal floodplains: the narrow end located at the point where a river fans out and deposits sediment in a region extending outward into the body of water which the river empties. In the case of an inverted delta, the delta is located at the waterway's exit from a large, flat valley, yet still inside the valley.

The effects of the dams on the flooding of the Inland Niger Delta downstream of Mopti are expected to be modest, [18] as the discharge of the Bani is only one third of that of the Niger: for the period 1952-2002 the average flow at Douna was 424 m 3 (15,000 cu ft)/s compared with 1,280 m 3 (45,000 cu ft)/s for the Niger at Koulikoro.
