The Ghana Water Limited (GWL) has re-emphasised the need for Gha­naians to use water more efficiently in view of the alarming threats to the country's water resources.

The company noted that while efforts were being made to bridge the gap between water demand and supply, responsible water use could significantly help ensure that available water meets consumer needs.

The Regional Chief Manager of Accra Tema Metropolitan Area (ATMA) Production of GWL, Mr Charles Tulashie, gave the advice during a facility visit for students of Accra Girls' Senior High School to the Weija Water Treat­ment Plant in Accra on Friday.

The visit was part of activities marking this year's World Water Day, observed globally on the theme: 'Glacier Preservation' and in Ghana under the theme: 'Water Conservation.' Organised jointly by GWL's Accra East Region and Accra Tema Metropolitan Area (ATMA) Production Region, the visit was used to educate students on processes involved in the abstrac­tion and treatment of water at the Weija Water Treatment Plant, which supplies water to Accra West Region and parts of Accra East Region.
