Abstract
Ayago Hydropower Station is located at NL 2°25′ and EL 31°55′ on the River Nile in the Murchison
Falls National Park (MFNP) in Uganda, and about 340 km far from the capital Kampala. The River Nile
flows into the Lake Albert at the bottom of the Great Rift Valley. The proposed dam location is
upstream of the MFNP, a treasured tourist attraction in the park, and downstream of the Karuma
Falls. The South bank (left) of the dam site may be accessed from Nanda (80 km from the dam site),
on the Kampala-Gulu highway, or via Masindi Town which is c.130 km away. The north bank (right) of
the dam site can be reached along the
Karuma-Pakwach highway from the other adjoining roads.
