Microbiological Quality and Metal Levels in Wells and Boreholes Water in Some Peri-Urban Communities in Kumasi, Ghana
African Journal of Environmental Science and Technology Vol. 3(1), pp. 059-066, March, 2009 Available online at http://www.academicjournals.org/AJEST DOI: 10.5897/AJEST08.126 ISSN 1991-637X © 2008 Academic Journals Full Length Research Paper Microbiological quality and metal levels in wells and boreholes water in some peri-urban communities in Kumasi, Ghana K. Obiri-Danso 1*, B. Adjei 1, K. N. Stanley 2 and K. Jones 3 1Department of Theoretical and Applied Biology, Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology, Kumasi, Ghana. 2Biomedical Research Centre, Sheffield Hallam University, UK. 3Department of Biological Sciences, I. E. N. S., Lancaster University, Lancaster, LA1 4YQ, UK. Accepted 24 November, 2008 Many communities in Kumasi, Ghana, are increasingly dependent on boreholes and hand dug wells. The aim of this study was to examine the drinking water suitability of 6 wells and 3 boreholes in peri- urban communities in Kumasi, between December 2003 and January 2005. Total coliforms, faecal coliforms and enterococci were enumerated using the standard most probable number method and membrane filtration methods. The heavy metals in the water samples were determined using the atomic absorption spectrometry method. Overall, significantly higher bacterial counts were recorded during the wet (rainy) season compared to the dry (harmattan) season. Faecal coliforms counts (FCC) in 3 borehole samples ranged between 3 x 10 1 and 3.5 x 10 7 per 100 ml (geometric means 1.82, 1.75 and 2.8 x 10 4) while mean numbers of enterococci were 10 3-105 times lower. The range and geometric means of FCC was similar in samples from wells but levels of enterococci were 8 times higher than in boreholes. -

International Tropical Timber Organization Project
INTERNATIONAL TROPICAL TIMBER ORGANIZATION ITTO PROJECT PROPOSAL TITLE: COMMUNITY FOREST LANDSCAPES AND SMALL ENTERPRISES CONTRIBUTING TO LEGAL TIMBER TRADE IN GHANA SERIAL NUMBER: PD 791/15 Rev.3 (M) COMMITTEE: ECONOMICS, STATISTICS AND MARKETS SUBMITTED BY: GOVERNMENT OF GHANA ORIGINAL LANGUAGE: ENGLISH SUMMARY: The overall objective of this project is to increase the availability and sources of legally sourced timber on the domestic market of Ghana. This will be achieved through the establishment of legal timber supply chain from community landscapes. At project completion, these landscapes would be established as additional legal sources of timber. Small-scale producers will also demonstrate understanding of the standards covering chain of custody and wood tracking by documenting and implementing procedures to comply with legal timber trade requirements. The capacity of the Kumasi Wood Cluster Association (KWC) (a certification system service provider) and the National Forest Forum Ghana (NFF- G) will be enhanced to better offer technical support to small-scale community producers towards legal timber trade in Ghana. Approaches to achieve this includes capacity building of communities to develop systems and agreements that provide incentives and security of tenure; capacity building of small-scale producers to develop appropriate chain of custody systems will contribute to value chain development from the community landscapes to the market. KWC will also continue to offer technical support to small-scale producers to comply with legality requirements, while NFF-G will be the platform to discussing forest governance issues that may affect legal timber trade.

A focused interview was done to solicit information from users of the drug. It paid attention to thematic areas that are replete in the existing literature concerning the use of marijuana and its ramifications on student users of the drug. Attention is paid to the factors that drive the students to use the drug and its ramifications on their performance as students. Results and discussions that emanated from this severally qualitative study with some quantitatives should serve as bases for university administrators and lecturers to see the need to enhance their efforts in training peer educators and counseling units in universities in Africa and Ghana in particular.

Assessing the Informal Sector in Kumasi: Case of Elements of Urban Agriculture
Scholarly Journal of Agricultural Science Vol. 2(9), pp. 190-201, September, 2012 Available online at http:// www.scholarly-journals.com/SJAS ISSN 2276-7118 ©2012 Scholarly-Journals Full Length Research Paper Assessing the informal sector in Kumasi: case of elements of urban agriculture Abubakari Ahmed Balormakpani and Romanus D. Dinye Centre for Settlements Studies Accepted 13 August, 2012 The recent trend of increasing urban agricultural activities in African towns and cities coupled with the contribution of the activity to development efforts of towns and cities has become a salient issue. Literature indicates that informal sector businesses including urban agriculture can be influenced by four main factors which include location, scale of activities (input-output), stakeholder and motivation. Using secondary data collected from government agencies and primary data collected from field observation and reconnaissance survey; the paper takes inventory of elements of urban agriculture (location, scale of activities, stakeholder support and motivation) and their potentials to reducing urban poverty. It was found out that there is no conscious planning for informal businesses such as urban agriculture in Kumasi as it has not been integrated into the land use plans of the city, lack of financial support, grazing of crops by animals and problems of access to land are the key challenges of urban farmers. Those involved in urban agriculture are mostly men in food crop farming and female in vegetable cultivation. The paper recommends urban agriculture land use policies that will avoid clash between the interests of farmers and long term government land use goals. Keywords: Urban agriculture, urban poverty, land use policy and planning INTRODUCTION No country has been able to sustain a rapid transition out 2005). -
Demographic Characteristics of Population with a Nity for Wetland
Demographic Characteristics of Population With Anity for Wetland Settlements in Ghana. Victor Kwesi Quagraine ( [email protected] ) Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology https://orcid.org/0000-0001-5879-0875 Joy Ofori-Konadu Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology Michael Osei Asibey Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology Research Article Keywords: Wetlands, Wetland settlements, Demographic characteristics, Ghana, Policies.

Read Full License Page 1/16 Abstract Wetlands all over Africa are being unsustainably reclaimed due mostly to high rate of population growth, urbanization and rising poverty. Despite having numerous ecosystem services that are of great benet to humanity, wetlands are among the most threatened ecosystems due to destructive anthropogenic activities. However in order to sustainably use and manage wetlands in Africa, more data must be made available for policy formulation and decision-making. Africa lacks sucient, basic and accurate data on population demographics that have anity to wetland settlement. Research is needed to provide this scientic basis in Africa. This study investigates the demographic characteristics of the population with anity to wetland settlements in Ghana to also contribute in lling in the gap identied by the National Environmental Action Plan of Ghana. The questionnaire survey approach was used with a sample size of 318 residents along two rivers in Kumasi. The demographic information that characterizes wetland settlers as revealed by this study include, low incomes, high rate of unemployment and poverty and low patronization of formal education. -
