10-member Ghana Hydrological Authority inaugurated

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.
