Member of Parliament for North Tongu, Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa, is providing mechanized boreholes for at least 100 villages in his constituency.

Deve, Avilordzogbe, Nyagblorkpor & Ayiram are among the communities that have seen work begin. Drilling and constructing pillars are currently ongoing, the MP said in a Facebook post.

According to Mr Ablakwa, he is pleased by the fact that his dream to provide mechanished boreholes for communities deprived of safe drinking water is "taking shape".

Ghana has been facing significant challenges regarding water availability and access, leading to a water crisis in certain regions of the country.

The water crisis in Ghana can be attributed to various factors, including illegal mining, population growth, urbanization, inadequate infrastructure, climate change, and inefficient water management practices.

The Ghanaian government has taken steps to address the water crisis, including the implementation of water management policies, investment in infrastructure development, and promoting sustainable water practices.

Efforts have been made to end illegal mining practices, expand access to potable water, improve sanitation facilities, and enhance water resource management.

However, despite these initiatives, challenges persist, and more comprehensive and sustainable solutions are required to address the water crisis in Ghana effectively.
