Ghana to import water soon

Rivers are polluted. Wells are running dry; the water from the taps is not the best for drinking. There seems to be a war of some sort against our rivers by illegal miners popularly called ‘Galamsey’. They mine gold and diamonds in the rivers indiscriminately.
They divert river channels. They fell trees in their way near the river banks. They wash the gold with heavy metals such as mercury and cyanide and allow them to enter the rivers. Illegal logging along the river banks follows closely.
