Yep its Masinga Have been there several times but have never been lucky to see it spilling over. Must have been awsome – did you see the crocodiles!!

Steve got it right – this is the spillway of Masinga Reservoir.

Am the only one **head hung in shame*** that has no idea where that is from looking at the pic only, but if by deductin and GHC courtesy of 844 is correct i agree with Ichiena and Irena its the nearest one to Emebu.

Yep, with Irena on this one – Kamburu Dam was the first that came to mind.

Spillway for one of the Seven Forks dams leading into the generation equipment. I am not sure which of the forks this particular one is since I have only been to Masinga and Kiambere and I do not remember either of the looking like these pictures but I think that it may be Kiamburu since the reservoir there is pretty big and the other dams are smaller. I think that the reservoirs at the larger dams also have a steeper pitch/drop at the generating equipment. The reservoir looks too big for one of the mini-hydros but I could be wrong. - Steve
