Central Region Faces Looming Water Crisis Amid Pollution Woes.
Towns in Ghana's Central Region, such as Cape Coast and Elmina, are at risk of water shortages due to illegal mining activities contaminating the Pra River. The Ghana Water Company warns that the Sekyere Hemang Water Treatment Plant is struggling to process enough water because of the river's high pollution levels. Currently, the plant operates at reduced capacity, which could worsen during peak periods. Residents are urged to support efforts to protect water sources and prevent a full-blown crisis.
