Английская Википедия:Bumbuna Dam
Шаблон:Infobox dam The Bumbuna Dam is a concrete-face rock-fill dam on the Seli River near Bumbuna in Tonkolili District, Sierra Leone,[1] and Шаблон:Convert from the capital of Freetown, the main consumer.[2] The country's first hydroelectric dam, it supports a Шаблон:Convert power station.[1]
The site for the dam at Bumbuna Falls was first identified in 1971, and construction was begun in 1975.[3] Work was halted in May 1997, about 85% completed, due to the Sierra Leone Civil War, and did not restart until 2005.[3][4] The project was completed and went online in 2009.[5] Nearly a third of the dam's US$327 million cost ($103 million) was supplied by the African Development Bank.[3] A 26 January 2005 report noted that 33 villages would be affected by the dam, although only one (of 16 households and 135 people) would require resettlement.[6]
The dam has a maximum height of Шаблон:Convert, a length of Шаблон:Convert at the crest and a volume of Шаблон:Convert.[2] The volume of the reservoir created is Шаблон:Convert,[2] Шаблон:Convert[1] or Шаблон:Convert.[4] There are two Francis turbines, each rated for Шаблон:Convert.[3]
After completion, the project has been plagued with problems, and barely produces Шаблон:Convert[7] or Шаблон:Convert[8] as of 2013.
A second phase is planned, for a Шаблон:Convert power station.[9][10] In June 2011, the government announced it had awarded the $750 million Phase II project to Joule Africa, a UK-based company.[8] This will entail a second dam and plant.[8] Construction was set to begin in 2014 and continue on until at least 2017.[8]
