The Danida-Enreca Hydrogeologial Project

The DANIDA-ENRECA Hydrogeological Project started in 1997 and has consistently focused on the enhancement of research capacity of hydrogeologists in the Universities and research institutions in Ghana and also training graduate hydrogeologists for the water sector. Currently, the project is in its final phase is expected to produce eight PhD’s four of whom have already finished and the rest at various phases of completion.

The project has sponsored 10 M.Phil. students and its expected that by 2008, 15 Masters level students would have benefited from the sponsorship programme of the project. The supervision of all the students is carried out with the support of our counterparts from Denmark. Dr. Bruce Banoeng-Yakubo is the Local Responsible Party in Ghana and co-ordinates all the activities of the Project.

The project has provided equipment for training of hydrogeologists and geophysics with strong teaching support facilities including various types of geological software. The DANIDA-ENRECA HYDROGEOLOGICAL project has GIS and remote sensing processing and interpretation capability for the training of Geoscientists and is planning with the Department to mount modular programmes in groundwater studies for consultants and technicians in the water sector in the country.
