Adaptation measures
Flooding has been and is a major issue in some urban areas in Ghana. During the rainy season, communities and roads are flooded to the extent, it is difficult to move. Sometimes, homes are flooded and properties destroyed, and lives are even lost.
Many areas in the Capital city have faced major impacts because of poor planning, choked gutters, and some people building houses on road networks.
Some communities have come together to clean gutters and allow rain to pass through, while we have a volunteer group called Bustopboyz doing amazing work by cleaning streets, gutters and seashores in a bid to improve the environment. They have also gotten support by some institutions as time has goneby but the initiative was designed solely by them.
