Abstract

The study on water resources assessment carried out in the Upper Manya Krobo district of the Eastern region, Ghana with the sole objective of identifying feasible options for water supply augmentation to communities in the district. The methodology consisted of inventory of boreholes and hand dug wells, rivers, streams, pipe schemes. Surveys conducted on the hydrogeology, geomorphology and buildings (roof) to determine the prospect of constructing underground dams and rain harvesting schemes. Interviews as well as sampling of groundwater and laboratory measurements determined the quality status of groundwater. Also carried out was limited pumping test. The results showed that groundwater potential is generally low. Borehole yield varies from 0.48 m 3 h -1 to 12.00 m 3 h -1 with mean of 3.4 m 3 h -1 and standard deviation of 2.97 respectively.
