The Water Resources Commission (WRC) has alerted stakeholders and residents living along the White Volta River that controlled spillage from Burkina Faso’s Bagre Dam could begin on Tuesday, August 11, if the reservoir reaches its trigger level.

In a public notice, the Commission said it had received an update from the operators of the Bagre Dam, SONABEL, indicating that the reservoir’s water level stood at 232.

According to the WRC, SONABEL plans to commence controlled water spillage if the reservoir level rises to 234.
