Ali Adolf John, the Northern Regional Minister, has urged the Ghana Water Company Limited (GWCL) to adopt a more comprehensive water rationing mechanism to ensure the fair and equitable distribution of water across the Greater Tamale Metropolis.

He said this would help reduce demand, promote efficient water usage, and minimize the ongoing water shortage affecting residents.

He emphasized the urgency of addressing the water crisis, especially during Ramadan, when Muslims observe a month-long fast that requires a reliable water supply for daily activities.

John made the call on Monday, March 3, 2025, during a meeting with officials of GWCL at his office, where they briefed him on the water shortage situation in the Greater Tamale Area.
