Mr. Woyongo said the committee would provide a platform for dialogue between the two countries to share experiences, address common issues and to implement activities on integrated Water management in the basin.

He commended the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) for supporting to curb environmental problems including ecosystem, especially its programme on "Improving Water Governance of the White Volta Basin".

He advised farmers cultivating crops along the White Volta basin to desist from acts that would lead to siltation of the river and its tributaries.

Mr. Sawadogo said during floods and droughts both countries suffered.

The Project Coordinator of the Improving Water Governance of the White Water Basin, Mr. Kwame Odame-Ababio, appealed to communities in the two countries to help conserve the environment especially the White Volta Basin for posterity.

The Committee is to initiate and support local level actions for development, promotion, protection and restoration of water resources with the expectation that stakeholders involved would develop a synergy of dialogue and prudent actions with other water management bodies.
