DCE WELCOMES TEAM FROM GHANA HYDROLOGICAL AUTHORITY FOR FEASIBILITY STUDIES ON AVE-HAVI DAM

Earlier today, the District Chief Executive, Hon. Bless Kodjo Katamani, welcomed a team of technical personnel from the National and Regional Offices of the Ghana Hydrological Authority to the District.

The visit was to conduct feasibility studies on the dredging and expansion of the Ave-Havi Dam, a critical water infrastructure in the District. The exercise is a key step towards improving the storage capacity of the dam for enhanced irrigation farming activities.

When fully realized, this initiative is expected to significantly boost agricultural productivity, ensure all-year-round farming, and support livelihoods of farmers and residents in the catchment area.

The DCE expressed his appreciation to the Ghana Hydrological Authority for the timely intervention and reiterated the Assembly’s commitment to unlocking the full agricultural potential of the District through strategic and sustainable development partnerships.
