The once enviably crystal clear and clean Birim River which stretches through the Akyem Abuakwa and other areas in the Eastern region, has also not been spared by these illegal mining activities as they have blocked its original course and diverted it through a little tunnel to enable them dig the area for their illegal mining activities.
People who used to rely on the Birim River for various household chores in the Kyebi Township disclosed they cannot use it again because the level of pollution was unbearable.
