The decision to release water from the Akosombo and Kpong Dams by the Volta River Authority (VRA) was initiated on September 15, 2023, due to a sustained increase in the inflow pattern and water level of the Akosombo reservoir.
Consequently, this has led to widespread flooding in various regions, including South Tongu, North Tongu, Central Tongu, Asuogyaman, among others.
