The iconic and totemic river of the Akyem ethnic group, the River Birem, wrongly spelt Birim, had long since been degraded into a slow moving muddy sludge, but now I noticed that all her tributaries such as the Asuorkoor and Boanor have also been heavily polluted and even more dangerously, poisoned with cyanide and mercury, converting the previously crystal clear colour into greenish brown waste water.
