The Water Resources Commission (WRC) has held a day’s media training workshop for media personnel in the Upper East Region of Ghana on Integrated Water Resources Management (IWRM).
The Public Relations Officer of the WRC, Mrs. Adwoa Dako noted that the ability to keep abreast of water policy decisions such as Agenda 21, the UN Convention to combat Desertification, International Convention for the Prevention of Pollution from Ships, UN Watercourses Convention, the Ramsar Convention and a good knowledge of historical water organisations including the International Water Association (IWA), Water Aid and the International Water Management Institute (IWMI) would put journalists on a sound footing to report accurately on the environment and water usage issues.
