On 10th December 2025, the Ghana Hydrological Authority (HYDRO) Board and Audit Committee, led by CEO Dr. Sylvester Darko and Board Chairman, undertook a comprehensive inspection of major drainage and coastal protection works across Accra as part of our commitment to reducing urban flooding.
The team visited ongoing GARID drainage construction sites at Achimota–Abofu and Kaneshie–Abossey Okai, where progress, design adjustments, siltation concerns, relocation challenges, and dry-season acceleration plans were discussed with consultants and contractors. At Weija, the delegation inspected the improved SCC/Korkorjor drainage system, where upgraded designs have significantly reduced flooding.
The team also toured the Dansoman Coastal Sea Defence Project, where groyne construction and revetment works continue to protect over 5 km of coastline. Substantial progress has been made under Phase 2, including ongoing preparations for additional groynes and auxiliary community amenities.
HYDRO remains committed to ensuring quality, resilience, and community engagement across all flood-mitigation and coastal protection projects in the Greater Accra Region.
