Officials of the Wassa Association of Communities Affected by Mining (WACAM), Centre for Environmental Impact analysis and Humanity Focus Foundation say government policies have failed to curb the blatant pollution of Ghana’s water bodies and sources. They warn that Ghana may face severe water crisis in 2025 if nothing is done about the problem. Associate Executive Director of WACAM Hannah Owusu Koranteng told Joynews there must be amendments to the Minerals Act to prevent mining around water bodies. Meanwhile, the Water Resources Commission says it is collaborating with the security services to enforce the law prohibiting the pollution of water bodies in all forms. Also, Water Resources Works and Housing Minister, Collins Dauda, has expressed worry about the rate at which water bodies and sources are polluted in the country. The minister who has been inspecting some water bodies across the country, admitted the damage done by illegal miners is threatening lives. However, the minister is optimistic the collaboration between the security agencies and his Ministry will help improve the situation. The use of mercury and cyanide by illegal miners in water bodies compels the Ghana Urban Water Company Limited to spend a lot of money on chemicals to treat the polluted water for distribution, thus increasing the cost of production.
