The Government's Anti-Flood Task Force on Wednesday took an aerial tour of Accra to ascertain the resilience of the capital to floods ahead of the rainy season.
The aerial recce took the team to four flood basins in the capital with the view to have first-hand information on the situation on the ground.
The basins toured were the Sakumono Ramsar Site area, Tema Fishing Harbour area, Achimota and Weija.
From the air, it was observed that buildings were erected in water ways forcing a diversion of the natural course of the water ways and in the process narrowing them into the sea.
