The Volta River Authority(VRA) has said that aquatic weeds from the river are causing a threat to its operations.
The Volta River Authority expressed that even though it has spend around Ghc 4 million trying to expand their coverage, the weeds still pose as a threat to that growth.
In an interview with City News Benjamin Sackey, the Director of Environment and Sustainability at the Authority disclosed that they are working on a solution to the problem.
“It is really a menace not only to VRA but also to the community. And one of our challenges with these weeds is that they float, and they can sometimes break and move toward the Kpong Pond, which is the Akuse Dam, and we often have to shut down the turbines to clear them,” he said.
This has therefore caused the shutdown of most of the turbines for a solution to be given to the situation.
