Alau Dam

ai generated text

The Alau Dam is located in Borno State, Nigeria, and was constructed in 1984-1986 to provide water for irrigation and domestic use in Maiduguri. The dam impounds a reservoir on the Ngadda River, a tributary of the Lake Chad, and has a maximum storage capacity of 112 million cubic meters. The dam's inflow of water is seasonal and dependent on the natural inflow of the Ngadda River, which can be significantly reduced during years of low rainfall. The dam has been the cause of flooding in some cases, including in 1992, 1994, and 2012, and collapsed on September 9, 2024, following heavy rains, resulting in floods that inundated up to 15% of Maiduguri.learn more on wikipedia
