The very first civilizations in history knew of water's importance and positioned their settlements near it. Now, in Ghana , there is serious discussion about privitizing the water supply because the current system is old and inadequate. The reason to privatize is to use private money to upgrade the system. However, many people feel the cost to users in the rural areas will make water unaffordable, thus causing a larger problem than already exists. 02:13 PM Display Latest Headlines Read Archives Advertisement Most Popular World Atlas and World Maps - Maps and Geography of the World Hurricane Names for 2005 Free Blank Outline Maps of the Countries and Continents of t...

Request Information Ghana's Geography An Equatorial Treasureland map of Ghana A tropical rain forest belt, broken by heavily forested hills and many streams and rivers, extends northward from the shore, near the Cote d'Ivoire frontier. This area, known as the "Ashanti," produces most of the country's cocoa, minerals, and timber. North of this region, the land is covered by low bush, savanna, and grassy plains. Half of the country lies less than 152 meters (500 ft.) above sea level, and the highest point is 883 meters (2,900 ft.). The 537-kilometer (334-mi.) coastline is mostly a low, sandy shore backed by plains and scrub and intersected by several rivers and streams. The climate is tropical. The eastern coastal belt is warm and comparatively dry; the southwest corner, hot and humid; and the north, hot and dry. There are two distinct rainy seasons in the south-May-June and August-September; in the north, the rainy seasons tend to merge. A dry, northeasterly wind, the Harmattan, blows in January and February. Annual rainfall in the coastal zone averages 83 centimeters (33 in.). The manmade Volta Lake extends from the Akosombo Dam in southeastern Ghana to the town of Yapei, 520 kilometers (325 mi.) to the north. The lake generates electricity, provides inland transportation, and is a potentially valuable resource for irrigation and fish farming.
