Government to construct Pwalugu and Tamne dams

Mr Albert Akuka Allzuuga, Garu-Tempane District Chief Executive (DCE) has reiterated Government’s commitment to construct dams at Tamne and Pwalugu in the Upper East Region.

The Tamne dam would be situated in the Garu -Tempane District whilst the Pwalugu Dam would be in the Talensi District.

Mr Allzuuga made this known at the opening ceremony of a two-day workshop on Participatory Planning Scenario, at Garu, in the Upper East Region.

He said plans are far advanced for the two projects - which would serve multi-purpose functions and promote food and livestock production - to start.

It would also generate hydrogen power and harvest rain water to prevent the usual annual flood problems in the region.    

The workshop organised by Care International in collaboration with the Garu Tempane District Assembly was aimed at building the capacity of the participants on the effective means of sharing scientific and indigenous weather forecast
