Floods in Ghana
Rising water levels upstream from the Akosombo Dam, due primarily to heavy rainfall, caused the Volta River Authority to commence the spillage of excess water on 15 September 2023. The spillage has caused flooding in communities downstream from the dam, destroying homes and farmland along the banks of the River Volta. Some communities were therefore displaced into safe havens (also known as collective centers) in the districts of Ada East, Central Tongu, North Tongu and Shai Osudoku.
