Victoria spills over

24 December 2012 12:10 pm

Two of the eight automatic spill gates located atop the Victoria dam opened today and the gushing waters caused a massive fall of water. The two spill gates opened when the water level increased  to 438 meters due to the torrential rains in the area. The Victoria dam is the only dam in a hydropower reservoir with automatic spill gates that open when the water level exceeds its capacity. Pix by Shane Seneviratne
