Methods adopted for control of flows both during and after construction of Kainji dam on River Niger in Northern Nigeria; scheme is multipurpose project for generation of electricity, regulation of river to give minimum flow for navigation purposes and for reduction of flooding to give greater stability to agriculture along banks; general layout of site at Kainji Island is outlined; three stages of diversion are described with particular reference to use of shell of part of powerhouse for bypassing flows of about 2000 m3/sec and two-stage construction of spillway section; for permanent control of normal flows and for reservoir regulation use of four 50×50 ft hydraulically operated gates is described.
