The water crisis is that 37% of population has no water and 80% of illnesses are linked to the water and sanitatians condition.
Also half of the developing world's primary schools don't have acces to water and sanitation facilites. Renewable water sources are 53cu km and the fresh water withdrawal is 0.98 cu km./yr(24%/10%.66%).
The land usage and climate of Ghana.
Ghana's area is slightly smaller than oregon. Ghana occupies an estimated area of 238,000 sq km.The land area is 228,000 sq km and the water area is 11,000 sq km. The terrain is mostly low plains with dissected plateau in south-central area. The climate is tropical; warm and comparatively dry along southeast coast; hot and humid in southwest; hot and dry in north. The arable land is 20% the irrigated land is 309 sq km.and the The population is 26,000,000 and the population in poverty is 29% .
The water sources are the rivers,lakes,ponds and rainfall. Only 87% of the population doesn't have sanitaition. Also the water connected disaeses area
waterborne diseases: bacterial and protozoal diarrhea, hepatitis A, and typhoid fever

The water scarcity of Ghana.
Also the water scarityis that the water is drying up and the water is not claen enough for the poeple to drink. Also whats being done is that the poeple are drilling wells so theres more fresh water and sanitation for the poeple and harvesting rainfall because most of the rain's gone in runoff; and they capture most of the rain in a tank that holds 100,000 litres of water or more. The total improved water source is 86.3% of population has water.
