afrol News, 22 March - A water expert has attributed the decline of water bodies in Ghana to increasingly high temperatures in the country. The possible effect of world-wide climate change also had led to less rainfall.

Dr Philip Gyau-Boakye, the CEO of a water agency that provides rural water supply in Ghana, Community Water and Sanitation Agency (CWSA), made the disclosure today as the world celebrates the International Water Day.

For the past two decades, Mr Gyau-Boake said rainfall patterns in Ghana had been changed into lower rainfall, which consequently dries up water bodies. This does not spare even rivers.

He said environmental pollution also affected both the quantity and quality of water bodies. Mr Gyau-Boake said stringent measures to protect water bodies from total extinction must be done.

Some days back, geologists shocked the world with reports that the world's ten big rivers were at the brink of drying up.
