Following report received from our development partners in Burkina Faso (SONABEL ENERGY) about the imminent spillage of the Bagre Dam in the coming days, we hereby wish to announce for the information of the general public to be on the alert and move to higher grounds.
According to the report, the possibility of spillage is high since the current Bagre Dam level as at today 24/08/2021 is 234.09m, as against the maximum spillage level of 235m.
The report further indicates that, the water level of the Bagre Dam seems to be rising rapidly, and the possible opening of the valves can start between August 27 and 30, 2021.
This flood alert therefore is to inform the general public, the Communities along the White and Black Volta Lakes as well as our development partners to be on the alert, and to get all the Communities who may be at risk to move to higher grounds.
Please treat as very urgent.
