Officials and citizens are urging the government to take immediate steps to stop pollution in the Volta Lake. Illegal mining operations are blamed for the damage.
Concerns are growing about the destruction of Ghana's rivers and water bodies. These are caused by illegal mining, also known as galamsey.
The Volta Lake is a vital resource. Its pollution threatens wildlife and communities that depend on it.
The government has been asked to increase its efforts to combat these illegal activities. Swift action is needed to prevent further environmental harm.
The extent of the pollution and its long-term effects are still being assessed.
Authorities are expected to outline measures to address the galamsey crisis impacting the lake.
