This would be President Mahama’s Christmas package for the people of GAMA in line with his vision of providing access to safe, affordable and reliable water for the country.

Is this minister out of his mind, talking as if they doing all these supposed projects out of their free will the ghanaian populace.

I want him to know it is their obligation to provide these save water for all regions and not a christmas gift, go to hell with the statement: a christmas gift: you don't even know it's your responsibility and that's why you have been put there.

Well said. How can a fundamental necessity of life been seen as a 'gift' from a politician?

A father sends his kid to bed. Five minutes later, the boy screams, "Dad! Can you get me a glass of water?"

The dad says, "No. You had your chance."

A minute later the boy screams, "Dad! Can you get me a glass of water?"

The dad says, "No. You had your chance. Next time you ask, I'll come up there and spank you."

"Dad! When you come up to spank me, can you bring me a glass or water?"

ITS SO SAD THAT WITH ALL THE WATER BODIES WE HAVE IN OUR NATION WE ARE STILL SHORT OF WATER.
LAMPEDUSA HAS NO WATER BODIES BUT THE PEOPLE DEPEND ON RAIN WATER.
WITH ALL THE RAIN WATER GOING TO WASTE,ITS TIME FOR US TO HARVEST IT FOR OUR NEEDS.

Water produced by Ghana Water Company (GWC)it is called is not potable. It is shitty!Unknown to their laboratory I sent a sample of their product alongside that from a private treatment plant for analysis. Believe it or not the GWC water quality was below the WHO standard in several key parameters.The private sample was mostly spot on.

The water situation in Accra is DIRE.
It costs the householder 30ghc for a 2500 gallon polytank yet the boys who go round the neighbourhoods purchase it for 4ghc.
Unbelievable but true.
How on earth would the Water board want to install water supply to individual neighbourhoods when it appears they run these sales themselves.
Daylight robbery if you asked me.

Alhaji Dauda and his Government had better work on this problem before we expose their lies and incompetency.

What has gone wrong in Ghana? Why desalinate sea water for Ghana when we have plenty of water in the rivers and dams? Or have we ran short of water in the Volta and the other rivers flowing near the GAMA?

You are talking of water deficit saying by 2015 the there will be no deficit. How? Have you taken into consideration the continuous increase in population and as such your so-called shortfall will even be more than than your target. You people should plan properly and think outside the box. Instead of giving unnecessary unfulfilled promises. 2015 will come and go and the problem will still be there. Prove me wrong Alhaji Collins Dauda.

Do not export any water out of the country to Benin and Togo,this would be a deaster for the entire nation.If we can not manage our own affairs let us hand country over colonial master.

By the time we address the current level of water deficit in the next two years, population increase and increased economic activity will result in a new deficit level. This is called the fire fighting approach to infrastructure investment.
Good infrastructure planning must look at forecats of at least 30 years.

Water deficit in Accra stands at 57m gallons
