Residents of Dumase in the Wassa West District of the Western Region of Ghana are being asked to leave their homes. They face the difficult decision of whether relocation is better than staying in their community, which has been polluted by Canadian mining company Golden Star Bogoso Resources Ltd.
The communitys traditional water supply, 7 or 8 streams of potable water, have either been dammed, dried-up or polluted by chemical spills due to mining activity in the area.
