  You are going to destroy the ecosystem, displace whole communities just for 60MG of power. Enough of the dams, let's go nuclear. Ghana is too small a country to continue to lose lands to inundations

  Mr Philip Tetteh Padi of the Engineering Services Department of the VRA said the Authority had been doing feasibility studies on the Pwalugu dam since 1993 through a consultant. 20 yrs of feasibility studies, God help Ghana.

  Why this meeting in Tamale? The right thing shoud be done, with my little knowledge Pwalugu is in the Upper East Region of Ghana. What is the outcome of this long feasibility studies since 1993?

  Thank you KM and ODI. Comments on dams not all right, we can make better use of the flooded land economically with good natural resource management. Ghana needs more cheaper sources of energy such as the dams. Nuclear is the best, but do we have the capacity since Ghana neglected that science to a greater extent since 1966?There are 15 sites for mini hydro dams and if developed in a coordinated manner like the Norwegians have done, it would help the industrial sector as hydro is cheaper. To Marays, just checked the map of the National Interconnected transmission system of Ghana, 2013, the real dam is northern region with impact on Upper east and northern regions. It is similar to the Bui dam situation B/A and northern region.

  Ghana has been conducting feasibility studies on the dam since 1993. This dam could be completed in just about four years from now. The authorities are not serious.
