Water for each Ghanaian reduces from 110 barrels to 48 daily

BY EDMUND SMITH-ASANTE


Ghana's water availability figure of about 40,000 barrels for each person a year in 1960, going by Food and Agriculture Organisation (FAO) figures, dwindled to about 10,178 barrels annually in 2013.

This means there has been a whooping reduction of about 60 per cent of water that is available to every Ghanaian in the spate of 53 years.
