VRA projects reduction in water inflow into Akosombo Dam by end of October

The Volta River Authority (VRA) has projected that the water inflow into the Akosombo Dam is likely to be reduced by the end of October 2023.

The VRA commenced the controlled water spillage from the Akosombo and Kpong Dams on September 15, 2023, due to a consistent rise in the inflow pattern and water level of the Akosombo reservoir.

The Deputy Chief Executive of the VRA, Edward Obeng Kenzo told Bernard Avle in an interview on the Citi Breakfast Show on Monday that per the Authority’s projections, the water inflow into the dam was likely to reduce as the level of the Volta Lake was gradually receding.

So per our projections that we’ve had over some time indicate that this time of the month going into the end of October the water inflow into Akosombo should start receding and from there we will start monitoring and adjust the data accordingly,” he stated.

Meanwhile, the VRA has assured residents and communities affected by the latest spillage that no one will be left behind as the authority intensifies the distribution of relief items.

Additionally, the VRA is providing tanker water supply services for the impacted communities as well as potable drinking water to all victims who will need it.
