MacGregor J. W. Findlay Mr D. J. Knight, Sir Alexander Gibb & Partners I should like to ask two questions about Kontagora Dam (Paper9259). The first question relates to the flexible concrete spillway. Will the behaviour of the concrete continue to be monitored for the effects of any continuing long-term settlement of the underlying embankment, as well as for the effects of the regular operations of the spillway during passage of floods? Such information in the future would be a valuable addition to the available data on a full-scale behaviour of such spillways, which have obvious cost benefits...
