The Lake Chad basin has many flood-prone areas that are affected year after year. These areas are concentrated along the Chari and its tributaries, near Guelendeng, Bousso and the Am Timan area, east of Sarh. The loss of water in these sections promotes the drying up of Lake Chad. The overall objectives of the project are to:
• Ensure the implementation of a technical process to improve the hydraulic capacity of the Chari River to limit losses in the flood plains;
• Design the facilities and infrastructure necessary for the transfer of water by gravity from the Bria Dam to the Chari River
• Optimise the various components for hydropower generation, irrigation development and flow support while minimising potential negative impacts.
