The Sherigo dam, a local dam within the Bolga municipality has recently been rehabilitated by the Member of Parliament for Bolga Central, Hon. Akolbire Opam-Brown Emmanuel to assist boost agric activities for the people.
For a long while until now the capacity of the dam to generate the flow of water dropped because it lacked maintenance which left inhabitants faced serious challenges with water.
But in a latest interaction with ghanamps.gov.gh, the Bolga Central legislator hinted that he had successfully completed rehabilitation works on the dam facility, which is currently in use by locals in the surrounding areas.
The Dapore Tindongo dam, another dam in the constituency which was also identified with the same ill-condition has been rehabilitated by the MP to improve water situation in the area.
“An amount of GHS 35,000 was expended to accomplish rehabilitation of the two dams”, the MP disclosed.
It is believed that the recovery of the water situation from these dams would help alleviate the plight of people in accessing water around the dam location.
Local dams in the communities are widely significant and optimized primarily on the basis of agric development, and to remain as alternative water resources for varied activities by people living around it.
