Abstract: Numerous laws and regulations have been adopted by the Niger Basin Authority (NBA) and its member countries against pollution of the Niger River from runoff, waste disposal and sewage discharges. Participating countries also subscribe to the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 6.3. Yet legal instruments for effluent discharge are not defined for a core set of parameters used to monitor basic ambient water quality for attaining SDG 6.3. We provide recommendations for addressing this problem.
