Three survivors were taken to hospital in critical condition.

SONABEL SETS AUGUST 28 FOR SPILLAGE OF BAGRE DAM

The National Electricity Company of Burkina Faso (SONABEL), which manages the Bagre Dam, has announced that water spillage from the dam will begin on Friday, August 28, 2026, at 9:00 a.m.

In a notice issued on August 27, SONABEL said the decision followed heavy rainfall in recent days, which has caused the reservoir’s water level to reach a critical threshold, making the release of excess water necessary.

Management of the organisation had earlier announced plans to commence the spillage this month, but the exercise was subsequently postponed.

A visit to the Kubore stretch of the White Volta in Ghana shows that water levels are currently relatively low, with the river yet to reach the brim of its banks.

However, the expected release of water from the Bagre Dam could significantly raise water levels downstream and potentially result in the flooding of farmlands and other low-lying areas along the White Volta.

Meanwhile, the National Disaster Management Organisation (NADMO) has already cautioned farmers and residents living along the White Volta to take precautionary measures and remain vigilant ahead of the spillage.

Residents in flood-prone communities are therefore being urged to avoid crossing flooded waterways and take steps to protect lives, livestock and property.
