The Nyankpala community, which has a population of about 25,000 people has been depending on dam water for survival, following the failure of the Ghana Water Company (GWC) to provide them with potable water. The residents said due to the narrowing up of the dams and the increasing water demand, it has resulted in the early drying up of the dams, which always make life unbearably for residents. However, the only dam that usually remains for residents to depend on is at the outskirts of the community, compelling residents to employ the services of water carriers to fetch the water for them for a charge. Mohammed said letters were written to the Tolon District Chief Executive then, to look into the water situation of the area never yielded any results. Speaking to some of the residents, they appealed to the government, NGOs to come to their aid.
