Mr. Noah Ben Azure, Member of Parliament for Binduri in the Upper East Region has impressed on Plan Ghana to come to the aid of the people and assist them with the construction of a dam that could tremendously help to relief the water crisis in the area.
He believed this would remarkably boost the promotion of agric for small scale farmers in the area, as well as provide an alternative source of water for domestic use to the constituents especially those in the deprived environs.
Speaking to ghanamps.gov.gh, the MP reiterated that accessibility to potable water was a problem across board, as he cited the terrible nature of the water condition in the whole district.
He stated that there were few boreholes sited in the area in which many of the residents could not accessed because they were distant from their communities. Also the nearby ones had immense pressure on them as a result of too many individuals accessing it.
Mr. Ben Azure estimated that the siting of a dam in the area could significantly support agric related activities in the form of dry season gardening and water to aid the rural folks in animal farming.
This he said will help ease the hassle in accessing water in the district and also enhance the livelihoods of the constituents.
