President of the Ghana Institute of Architects, Tony Asare, has sounded the alarm over the far-reaching consequences of the ongoing Weija Dam spillage, stressing that its impact goes well beyond the displacement of residents.

Speaking on Channel One Newsroom, Asare drew attention to the potential health hazards resulting from the flooding, warning that contaminated water poses serious risks to affected communities.

“The worry is not just about spilling the dam and dislocating or dislodging people who are within that settlement. But there are other issues such as septic tanks that will be flooded, wells that will be flooded,” he explained.

He cautioned that the mixing of floodwaters with sewage and other pollutants could lead to secondary health crises, including the spread of waterborne diseases.

“If you have water that is mixing up with sewage and such things, then we are even worried about secondary issues beyond the destruction of properties.

“But we are looking at health issues and a whole lot of other issues. So this thing is really worrying,” Asare stressed.
