Methods of control of flows at Kainji Dam in Nigeria are described in relation to particular experience of third stage diversion; model tests were conducted to investigate shape of stoplog, details of handling device, uplift and friction forces and vibration; main tests were based on total river flow of 2000 cumecs during closure of last opening but final results were then examined for marginal variations in total flow and predicted upstream and downstream water levels.
