The Ashanti Regional Chief Production Manager of the Ghana Water Company Limited (GWCL), Mr. Francis Kwesi Awotwe, has cautioned against the unrestrained destruction and pollution of water sources in the region, describing the situation as grim.
He cited harmful chemicals used by illegal miners – cyanide, mercury and other waste substances, and said these were a big danger to water quality and making it increasingly expensive to treat the water to make it safe.
