Surface Water Management in Ghana

Abstract

Michael Padi

If adequate measures are not taken to protect the water bodies in Ghana, the rivers will dry up and those left will be highly polluted and the country will have to import drinking water from the neighbouring countries and from abroad for human consumption. Also, lots of lives and property would be lost through flooding in most cities in every rainy season if certain habits like building on water ways and dumping of rubbish into drains are not discouraged.
