Libya's Dams Collapse vs. Ghana's Dams Spillage: The Lesser of Two Evils
The Volta River Authority (VRA) on September 15, 2023, began controlled spilling at the Akosombo and Kpong Dams as a result of too much water in both reservoirs. A rough estimate of 26,000 people, as of October 17, 2023, had been displaced as a result of the spillage. Since the construction of the Akosombo Dam, which receives water from six separate tributaries, this is the largest magnitude of displacement and volume recorded.
