This according to a geographer and the Chief Executive Officer of the Development Geo-Information Service (DeGEOSERV), Professor Emmanuel Amamoo-Otchere is because of the changing patterns in the weather conditions and land use.
He therefore admonished Ghanaians to brace themselves for an imminent water crisis.
He was commenting on a possible drought which expert say could affect the country if it does not rain in the coming days.
A number of river bodies in the country have dried up due to the effects of pollution and illegal mining activities.
