Speaking at the launch of the Upper West regional platform for disaster risk reduction in Wa, Ghana, this week, Mr Mahmud Khalid, Upper West regional minister, suggested the creation of reservoirs in the three northern regions to help reduce the perennial flooding...

"Let us find a location for excess water from the White Volta, Back Volta and other rivers to benefit the people rather than allowing flood waters to go waste and cause considerable destruction to crops and human lives and other property".
