US funds feasibility studies in water, saltmaking sectors

    ABIDJAN

    The US Trade and Development Agency (TDA) is to provide US $542,000 for two feasibility studies by US consultants on salt production and water delivery projects in Ghana, under agreements signed on Wednesday with the Ministry of Trade and Industry and the Ghana Water Company Limited, the TDA reported.

    TDA is to provide US $102,040 for a feasibility study on three commercial salt facilities in Songhor Lagoon, eastern Ghana, and US $440,000 for a similar study of options for delivering and distributing water from the Volta River in eastern Ghana to Lome, Togo.

    The latter project is part of plans by Ghana and Togo to develop a safe and effective water distribution system that will increase water safety and decrease the number of water-borne illnesses in both countries, the release said.
