Most White Volta residents evacuated ahead of Bagre Dam spillage — NADMO

The National Disaster Management Organisation (NADMO) in the Upper East Region has intensified sensitisation among farmers and residents living along the White Volta ahead of the anticipated spillage of the Bagre Dam.

Her comments come amid preparations by authorities in the Upper East Region for the expected spillage of the Bagre Dam in Burkina Faso, which could cause flooding along the White Volta and affect communities downstream.

Upper East Regional Director of NADMO, Rebecca Akolgo, says the organisation is particularly concerned about farmers who continue to remain in flood-prone areas because of the fertile nature of the soil along the White Volta.
