Nawuni River swells as NADMO warns of rising flood risk in Northern Region
The National Disaster Management Organisation (NADMO) has warned residents in and around Nawuni in the Kumbungu District of the Northern Region to prepare for possible flooding as water levels at the Nawuni intake continue to rise.
However, he cautioned that any spillage from the Bagre Dam, operated by Burkina Faso’s national electricity company, SONABEL, could significantly worsen the flood risk in the Northern Region.
He said the organisation had been conducting continuous pre-flood monitoring and public sensitisation since August 4, when it received an initial alert from SONABEL through the Water Resources Commission.
