Abstract
A study was carried out to review the works of different researchers on Ikere gorge dam and Oyan dam; the two main multipurpose dams in the southwest Nigeria under the control of Ogun Osun River Basin Development Authority. The two gigantic dams and other smaller dams in the area were found to be grossly under utilized considering the water storage capacity and purposes for which the dams were built. The dams were meant to serve the people in the region in terms of water provision, irrigation farming, hydro power generation, fishery, recreation, navigation and other purposes. The economic potential of the two engineering water infrastructures were highlighted. An appeal is now being made to the relevant authorities through this medium to explore areas of utilizing the two dams for regional and national economic development.
