Illegal small-scale mining, locally known as galamsey, is severely crippling Ghana's water sector by driving water treatment costs up by as much as ten times the normal rate. The Ghana Water Company Limited (GWCL) has repeatedly warned that heavily polluted water sources are forcing unprecedented operational expenses, threatening severe...

In Ghana, our water bodies, farmlands, and forests are being destroyed by illegal mining. In galamsey prone areas, the water is so heavily contaminated that water treatment plants are shutting down because they can no longer filter it. As a result, people living in these communities are left with no choice but to drink contaminated water. #StopGalamseyNow

IT’S NOT A JOKE ANYMORE-According to the WHO, the threshold of turbidity of drinking water should not exceed 5 NTU. However according to the Ghana Water Company Ltd, the pollution levels in most rivers in the mining communities has reached 20,000 NTU. Your guess is as good as mine how much chemicals GWCL will require to treat water sufficient for one community. The galamsey crisis is a national security threat. Nana Akufo-Addo this is your LEGACY John Dramani Mahama cannot protect. #SayNo2Galamsey #EnoughOfTheGreed #NppMuStGo

A galamsey operator has criticized Ghanaians, both at home and abroad, who are pushing for the government to ban illegal mining. He claims it's impossible to halt the practice and defended it by explaining the machinery used, also arguing that not all galamsey operations harm water sources.

Water levels in Colorado are extremely down, they are seeing historic lows You can see where the water level used to be here, even the boat ramp is now completely dry and unusable. The water used to go near the top Colorado is experiencing one of its worst water years on record in 2026, partially driven by an unprecedented snow drought - Snowpack is down 27% statewide - Reservoirs are down - Colorado River Basin is down -27% - Cities are implementing water restrictions As of 2026, Colorado has approximately roughly 65 data centers

City of Harare admits air can trigger water meter charges The City of Harare and Helcraw Water say prepaid water meters work the same way as ordinary water meters. They say the meters are not faulty. According to the statement, when there is air trapped in water pipes after events like burst pipes, repairs, or when the water supply is restored, that air can pass through water meters and cause them to record water use even though mostly air is flowing. The city says this is a known challenge that affects both prepaid and conventional water meters, and that current technology cannot always tell the difference between water and large amounts of pressurised air. Residents are advised to close their taps immediately if only air is coming out and report the problem to the City of Harare or Helcraw Water so technicians can fix it. The city also says it is installing air release and pressure relief valves across the water network to reduce trapped air, improve the water system, and minimise incorrect meter readings caused by air. It says it remains committed to providing a reliable and transparent water supply.

BREAKING: The U.S. Navy has destroyed a major drinking water distribution facility serving Sirik County in southern Iran, leaving more than 20,000 civilians without access to potable water during the peak of summer heat. According to the CEO of Hormozgan Water and Wastewater Company, the strike destroyed two reinforced-concrete water reservoirs with capacities of 500 and 2,000 cubic meters, along with associated mechanical infrastructure. The facilities supplied drinking water to the town of Kouhestak and ten villages in the Bamani district. As a result of the attack, water service has been completely cut off to the affected communities, depriving more than 20,000 residents of access to drinking water in one of the hottest regions of the country. Local officials stated that the targeted infrastructure was directly linked to the daily health and livelihood of the civilian population. Damage to the water supply network is estimated at more than 140 billion tomans. Emergency efforts to establish alternative water sources are currently underway. #OperationEpicFury #OperationLionsRoar

Water Resources Commission has been tracking 41 Water bodies in Ghana since 2005 till date. The NDC Government displays 6 water bodies and ignores the 35 water bodies Becos they are in a worst situation and is asking for praises?. Sometimes, I wonder “who is doing” this government. Nice stakeholder engagement organised, very progressive conversation and then out of no where “boom” you start mounting pressure on your own selves about some progress you claim you are making even in the face of contrary facts. Now, all you have done is invite others to prove to you, that out of the 41 water bodies being tracked by the water resources commission, 35 of them are in a worst situation now than in the past and that is why you refuse to show the data. Central region is in crisis as we speak, the turbidity level in the Ayensu River has risen from 14,000 NTU in 2024 to 94,000 NTU as at now. Why isn’t that part of the rivers you displayed today. Where is the data for the rest of the 35 water bodies. You mount pressure on your own selves and when you are questioned you start screaming. Who sent you! Let me state it here again, Water turbidity levels are not the measure for water quality. The true measure of water quality is the WATER QUALITY index which uses turbidity levels, Nutrients and two other elements to determine the purity of the water levels. The attempt by this government to use 6 water bodies out of 41 to gaslight the entire country is not only laughable but unnecessary. Fine event but they are spoiling it with propaganda. I mean how?? Our dear doctor speaking here is worried and that’s legitimate cos she can see through the gaslighting. Stop buying the Galamsey gold Stop your party people from doing Galamsey Fulfil your galamsey campaign promise Stop the whining and blame games and fix the menace #galamseyEnablers #galamseyevidence

Apart from the fact that the turbidity level of most rivers have moved from bad to worst in the last 8months, let no one mislead you to accept just tubidity level as measure. It’s just one indicator. What is the true measure of water quality is the WATER QUALITY INDEX by the Water Resources commission. It uses the turbidity levels and other 4 indicators to ascertain our water quality. That’s more comprehensive. st ixahalli Trors in the rdmye thewer And the records from 2005 - 2024 show clearly that, the water quality deteriorated from bad to worst anytime the NDC is in power and improves when NPP comes to power. As at 2010 when the river Galamsey escalated in earnest under the NDC government, the 40 fairly Good water were destroyed and as at 2016, the NDC left us with only 15 Fairly Good water and 25 Poor quality water. The NPP between 2017 - 2024 improved our water 15 to 29 Fairly Good water and reduced the poor quality water from 25 to 10 with 1 Good Quality water. Let no one tell you otherwise, the data is available online. Read for yourself. Galamsey remains a major challenge for this country and the earlier this NDC government realizes the times we are in, stop referencing Akufo-Addo and get to work to fix the situation the better. The record of the NDC per the data is clear. Times have changed and people are now ready to hear and understand the issues than they did in the past and there will be no room for misleading information. #GalamseyEnablers

Are you being lied to? Ministers claim that "This government’s generational reform of the water system, that will cut water pollution and clean up our rivers lakes and seas for good". Yet just 2 weeks ago Defra's leading civil servant told MPs "That is a simplification process. We are looking to bring the two main underlying bits of environmental law the water framework directive and the waste water directive together in a consolidated form. Again, that is an opportunity to simplify and streamline." The Water Framework Directive set a target that by 2027 every river in England would be in "Good" ecological condition. Govt is going to miss that one by a country mile, in reality it's looking like a jaw droppingly pathetic 6% of rivers will achieve that goal. The Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive is what makes it illegal to dumping sewage outside of "exceptional situations." Both are about to be "streamlined", you have been warned.

Scheme brewing in the X #Kuki_Zo space? Ardent supporter Vishwajit Singh Vishwajeet Singh, apparently a lawyer, talks about starting a water conflict. He says (sic), 'If they are in a position to deny us electricity, we are in a position to deny them water resources. We should also start a campaign that we will not share the water resources with the valley. If the valley really needs access to the water coming from the hills, then we need to have a water-sharing agreement. If they can stop the electricity, we can stop the water by doing whatever is required. It is easy to stop the water in the mountains and disrupt the water supply. That can be done by the people. This should immediately come up as the next proposal by tomorrow.. We need a water-sharing agreement with the Imphal valley as there is a defacto separation. .. #Meiteis don't know anything apart from their pukhris (ponds)." Forget the feasibility of this grand plan, but it is comfortable for these people to live in the realm of plotting & planning nine months into the #Manipur crisis. Peace is a hard thing to make. #ManipurViolence #KukiChinZoSeparatists

NATURE IS NOT THE PROBLEM,HUMANS ARE. Environmental destruction is caused by human actions such as pollution, poor waste disposal, and the misuse of natural resources. The consequences eventually return to us through polluted water, flooding, disease, and the loss of healthy ecosystems. The before-and-after scenes displayed by Buzstopboys powerfully illustrate this message. The “before” reveals the impact of neglect on nature and water bodies, while the “after” shows how collective action and respect for the environment can restore them. Our work is a reminder that when we protect nature and our water bodies, we are ultimately protecting human life.
