"Basically," said Mr. Duker, "we pump about six million gallons of water daily from the Daboasi intake point. The average daily production is 5.5 million gallons. However, as we speak now, pumping has dropped to about two million gallons."
The reason is simple. Galamasey operators have so diverted the flow of the mighty river that pumping has become a very difficult assignment. That is not all. The quality of the water has been compromised by illegal miners contaminating the quality with dangerous chemicals like mercury and synide.
