The newly-inaugurated Board of the Ghana Hydrological Authority has been charged to develop a drainage master plan to help address perennial flooding facing the country.
According to the Minister of Works and Housing, Mr Francis Asenso-Boakye, the master plan would guide the development and management of drainage systems to strengthen the country’s capacity to deal with flooding.
“With the implementation of the proposed drainage master plan, I am confident that we can mitigate the effects of flooding and make our communities safer to live in,” he added.
He was speaking in Accra yesterday during the inauguration of the 10-member Board of the Authority chaired by Kwasi Anim.
