The National Disaster Management Organisation (NADMO) has begun preparations to mitigate possible flooding in Ghana’s North East Region following notification from Burkina Faso that the Bagre Dam will be opened from Tuesday, August 11, 2026.
The organisation's warning is particularly relevant to communities situated along the White Volta River and its tributaries, where increased water flow could raise the risk of flooding following the Bagre Dam spillage.
NADMO said the increased downstream flow from the Bagre Dam could lead to rising water levels along the White Volta and its tributaries, increasing the risk of flooding in vulnerable communities.
