The Volta River Authority (VRA) has announced plans to engage stakeholders concerning the possible controlled spillage of excess water from the Akosombo Dam.
A notice signed by Ing. Ken Arthur, VRA’s Deputy Chief Executive in Charge of Services, was sent to over 40 stakeholders, including the Minister for the Interior and local assemblies within the dam’s catchment areas. This engagement is set to commence immediately to address the potential need for spillage.
The VRA intends to begin discussions on the controlled spillage of water from the Akosombo Dam. This precautionary measure is deemed crucial for maintaining the structural integrity of the dam and ensuring the safety of nearby communities.
Additionally, it emphasized the importance of discussing potential implications, mitigative measures, and effective information dissemination with relevant stakeholders.
