Sirba River

{{Short description|River in Burkina Faso and Niger}} {{More citations needed|date=June 2025}} thumb|

The '''Sirba River''' is a tributary of the Niger River in western Africa. The Sirba arises in Burkina Faso and flows east, crosses into Niger and then forms a short part of the international border between the two countries. It meets the Niger River at the midway point between the settlements of Gothèye and Karma in Niger, about 50 kilometres upstream from Niamey.

The river is subject to seasonal flooding.<ref>{{Cite journal |last=Tangam |first=Idi Souley |last2=Yonaba |first2=Roland |last3=Ibrahim |first3=Boubacar |last4=Adamou |first4=Mahaman Moustapha |last5=Karambiri |first5=Harouna |date=2025-01-01 |title=Hydrological drivers of flooding in Niamey (Niger): the role of the Sirba River |url=https://iopscience.iop.org/article/10.1088/2515-7620/adaac9 |journal=Environmental Research Communications |volume=7 |issue=1 |pages=015029 |doi=10.1088/2515-7620/adaac9 |issn=2515-7620|doi-access=free }}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |date=2020-07-02 |title=Flood hazard scenarios of the Sirba river (Niger): Evaluation of the hazard thresholds and flooding areas {{!}} PreventionWeb |url=https://www.preventionweb.net/publication/flood-hazard-scenarios-sirba-river-niger-evaluation-hazard-thresholds-and-flooding |access-date=2025-06-30 |website=www.preventionweb.net |language=en}}</ref>
