Can't the water be used for Large scale irrigation farming in the area rather than this perennial release. A 5000 hectares will utilize the excess fully. Why are we so dumb 17 Likes |

gnykelly:do u need irrigation during rainy season or dry season ? For them to release d water it is because the dam is filled to the capacity it can hold and don't forget we re still expecting more rainfall in weeks to come. Failure to release it might destroy d dam 42 Likes 2 Shares |

It is common for dam operators to discharge excess water through the spillway during spring runoff to maintain the proper reservoir height or when they need to cut back on power generation. Dams can also use the spillway to control other factors such as increased river flow. Typically dams will also have an emergency spillway. The emergency spillway is often a portion of the dam that is designed to have water flow over it in an emergency. This emergency spillway sits lower than the main dam infrastructure so that excess water flows through it and not over the main dam itself. Basically it is a reinforced portion, often on one side, that channels water over the dam in a location where it won’t damage the integrity of the dam face. 14 Likes 1 Share |

miniziter: Heavy rainfall means that there is too much water and if some of that water is not released, the pressure would be too much on the dam and the whole thing might collapse. 3 Likes 2 Shares |

The Ogun River empties into the Lagos Lagoon in northern Lagos, near Ikorodu. That's the way nature made it. The Oyan River empties into the Ogun River, the Ogun River empties into the Lagos Lagoon and the Lagos Lagoon empties into the Atlantic Ocean via creeks and channels. The Oyan Dam was built across the Oyan River. Usually, when rainfall is heavy, excess water is released from the dam in order to reduce the pressure. If you know how a dam works, then you'll know that water is released all the time, but the difference in this case is the volume of water that is being released. The dam could collapse if the water is not released and the pressure becomes too much. 10 Likes 3 Shares |

gnykelly: That's not how damming works, you need water at a particular level in a dam for it to serve it's purpose whether irrigation or power generation. So they use it as intended but with more rainfall, the water level rises too, so you increase the flow towards the ocean. If not the dam breaks and people die. What has happened is that due to poor town planning, residential areas have evolved on the path of the river when it flows heavily, hence, the need to alert and evacuate when need be. It is released every year. 9 Likes 2 Shares |
