Borehole water quality in Volta Region of Ghana
conference contribution
posted on 2018-02-12, 15:09 authored by Kwadwo Ansong Asante, O.D. Ansa-AsareThe Danish International Development Agency
(DANIDA) in 1991 began to assist the Ghana Water
Company Limited (GWCL) to implement a rural water
supply and sanitation project to improve health and the
standard of living of the people in the Volta Region of
Ghana. The Water Research Institute (WRI) has since the
formulation of the Volta Rural Water Supply and Sanitation
Project (VRWSSP) carried out data collection and
monitoring assignments covering water resources in the
Volta Region. In addition to the initial data collection, WRI
was also contracted to initiate a research project to increase
the understanding of the effects of land use changes on
surface water resources. This very issue is important for the
long-term use of small streams and springs for piped water
systems and to develop appropriate methods for protection
of their catchment areas.
