Lagos normally go sink one day

How can you construct a Dam in Ogun and Chanel the drain to lagos

Madness! Madness!! Madness !!!

Chai, they should have channeled it Kano? What an ignorant youth.

Very soon they will say Buhari is incompetent

Hmmm, it is well.

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.

You are very correct. He can read about the flooding that occurred in Ibadan in August 2011. Sure they are trying to prevent something similar.

gnykelly:
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

The Oyan river do flow into the Lagos lagoon in the ikorodu axis

Water that should be used for reusable energy.

Na WA.

Should they channel the water through your house or which waterways/ocean will it pass through to the lagoon/Atlantic Ocean.

Am not sure you are educated because this is pure foolishness.

When you don't understand things, you ask questions instead displaying ignorance and foolishness in public.

miniziter:
Please of what purpose is the release of the dam? And why not wait till dry season if they must do it?

If not released the entire dam system will be overwhelmed and will fail and dam will break.. if that happens it will lead to a disastrous flood 1000 times worse than if it was a controlled release..

How can a dam be constructed in Cameroon and drain channelled to Nigeria and other neighbouring countries?

To avoid overflow

happening already around ikorodu axis the river is over floating to the road side already

So you’re saying there’s no course for alarm?

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.

Goat ....so the only way to drain out the dam is to flood out the residential area abi..come and see how it works in Europe ...oops sorry you never comot for that shithole once for your life ....as highly educated Nigerians claims to be ,what developmental change have you initiated in your country ...bastard..please check your account balance before you reply me ...plus I earn in dollars what currency do they pay you withProfessor poverty

The dam may collapse if the water is not reduced.

so imagine the effect of flood from a collapsed dam

gnykelly:
The water has been dammed before raining season...if it has been utilize before now it won't need releasing.

This dam is not opened Every year just like once in 5 years.

there is a level of water which u must maintain for the purpose of generating electricity...those guys working there should know better

Mugu...there are better ways of draining the dams without flooding out the residential area ...check for global best practices..fools your useless country makes Basic things seems impossible and a privilege...anyways your Buhari government has nothing on me ,na you the government dey affect and na you dey suffer the pains ..enjoy your shithole

But there can be engineering control to prevent flooding out the residential area

Now I am convinced that even a lot of people on nairaland don't read.
A dam is constructed on an existing waterway after the topography surrounding the river has been thoroughly studied.
The dam is erected at the best location usually on a narrow portion because it doesn't make sense to erect a fence in water across a wide area( that will be foolish) and secondly the narrowing of the river increases pressure at that point especially for use by turbines to generate power.
Upstream before the dam water begins to accumulate and further increases the pressure at the dam which is put to use to work the turbines.
If the turbines are out of use as is usually the case and you have excess rain,the communities that are relocated during the construction of the dam will still be in danger because even though they have moved to higher ground,their homes and farms will be destroyed by the rising backlog.
The only option is to occasionally release the water downstream (like taking a leak when your bladder is full)
Unfortunately we have a lot of low lying areas around the course this water takes into the ocean hence the almost annual flooding.
Nigeria no get the money for the technology required to solve this problem but in countries like the Netherlands,naa pikin play be this issue.

So far houses are built on where water should flow through, no engineering control can prevent your house been flooded when you build on the wrong location. The best thing is not to build on where water flows through.

Suffer head citizen ...can't there be engineering control to prevent flooding out the residential area ...normally for real life , I believe say of you see me you go address me with "Sir"....your country is a failed country, they are making the people suffer the consequences of their incompetence and you that is not ignorant is clapping and supporting them ...bros sometimes ehen, gather money, apply for visa ,go other countries in Europe,America or Asia and then you go understand how things suppose dey ...you fucking stay in one country and you dey claim say you nor dey ignorant...mugu

Terrence99:
Where should they channel it to? Ebonyi or Dutse?
Because you want to criticise ignorantly, you just open your mouth and show how ignorant you are. You go school so?

It will cost the Government billions and billions of naira to prevent the water from flooding residential areas o. I don't think any state government will wanna spend billions on such a project yet.

And I believe this should have been in the scope before constructing a dam ...but your country is filled with myopic and incompetent leaders ...same thing still happens in constructing powerlines ,but nobody complies to the universal recommendation ,because every agency that is supposed to enforce this is corrupt

the integrity of the dam would be compromised "i.e there could be a total collapse" if some of the excess water coming in isn't shed. That could be a disaster

Gbam...so your country value money more than life and properties of citizens ...Shame on you , and you get mind call me ignorant,meanwhile you are the myopic and ignorant one ...bros I Don tell you, gather money , travel come Europe make you see the true definition of good governance ...

No correlation

FTC on a thread wey I no really get any idea to talk about wetin dey happen for Lagos

But this flood of thing na everywhere e dey....Come to warri self,the flood dey pursue people out of their houses to the extent say many people don begin relocate go agbarho and ughelli

When did I call you an ignorant man?

See, I'm just telling myself the truth, the Government won't embark on such a project. It will cost billions of naira, as the Government dey do now, how many people don die?

I don't think it is wise to insult people just because you live abroad. Infact those who count themselves privileged for living abroad have an undiagnosed case of deep rooted inferiority.
You are a Nigerian and even if you obtain a foreign passport,your soul is still tied to the entity called Nigeria. If you like migrate to Pluto or Neptune,naa naija you be and the earlier you joined the solution train,the better for us.
I am sure the London Underground had started operating before many of our grandfather's were born,but small travel una go begin shout 'saner climes ' up and down.
