These entailed the draining and filling up of several sections in the wetlands. Coupled with these changes, the Bamendjin dam construction greatly influenced water flow in this area. Since this dam was constructed, it was observed that the water level generally increased in certain areas during the rainy season. Several tributaries of the Nun suddenly rise during the peak of the rainy season, causing floods in several areas around Bamunka and Bamali (see photo 2).
