Flood Mitigation Task Force to demolish buildings blocking waterways in Damfa , Oyarifa and Tesa

"The planned demolitions form part of a broader flood mitigation strategy aimed at restoring natural drainage channels, improving water flow and reducing the impact of flooding in vulnerable communities across the capital.

The Flood Mitigation Task Force has earmarked several buildings obstructing natural waterways in Damfa, Oyarifa and around the Tesa Dam near Boundary Road for demolition as part of efforts to reduce flooding in the Greater Accra Region.

The team also found that another developer had diverted the natural flow of water uphill, a situation officials say significantly increases the risk of flooding in the area.
