Kwabena Poku, a cocoa farmer, at Kwabeng in the Eastern Region, has expressed dismay over devastation caused by alluvial mining, which has polluted water bodies in the area.
He said the illegal miners, otherwise known as galamsey, had destroyed water bodies which they relied on for irrigation purposes.
He said about 100 water bodies including River Broma and River Kokoben had been polluted to the extent that farmers could not use them for irrigation any more.
