\n

The Upper East Regional office of the National Disaster Management Organization (NADMO) has hinted that authorities in neighbouring Burkina Faso could spill the Bagre Dam anytime soon.<\/p>\n

NADMO has thus urged farmers and residents along the White Volta to adhere to its safety measures to avert the loss of lives and property.<\/p>\n

Speaking to Citi News<\/strong> in Bolgatanga, Regional Coordinator of NADMO, Jerry Asamani said, Even though NADMO is unable to disclose the exact date for the spillage, it could occur anytime.<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cWe have operation thunderbolt, a rapid response group and. It is already established and they are located in Walewale and their location has been chosen based on their proximity to these three regions,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Spillage of excess water from the dam is as part of a routine safety measure to\u00a0ensure that the water is kept below the safe operating level of the dam in order to prevent it from collapsing.<\/p>\n

The exercise has been characterised with the flooding and destruction of homes along the waterway.<\/p>\n

Last month, the Ghana Water Company Limited announced that it would begin spilling excess water from the Weija dam as part of a routine safety measure.<\/p>\n

Communities likely to be affected include; Tetegu, Oblogo, Pambros Salt, Lower McCarthy Hill, Lower Weija, Bojo Beach, Ada Kope, Tsokome and surrounding communities.<\/p>\n

\n

In 2016, a number of communities in the catchment area of the\u00a0Weija Dam<\/strong>\u00a0in the Ga South Municipality were submerged, following the spillage of the dam by the GWCL.<\/p>\n

Communities such as Tetegu, Oblogo, Pambros Salt, Lower McCarthy Hill, Weija, Bojo Beach and Ada Kokpe were inundated, while others, including Glefe and Opetekwei, are also seriously affected.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
