The benefits notwithstanding, ASGM had been associated with numerous social, health and environmental concerns, and as part of efforts to minimise the negative impacts of the activities, a project was started in 2012 to conduct an Integrated Assessment of water sustainability, infrastructural inequity and health in small-scale gold mining communities across Ghana.
The project, which was funded with a grant from the University of Michigan Graham Environmental Sustainability Institute, brought together researchers from the United States of America and Ghana, to ensure a successful take off and completion of the project.
