Nana Ama Brown Klutse, CEO of the EPA, announced that $35 million is needed to rehabilitate the polluted Birim River, which spans 175 kilometers. This estimate is based on the cost of $200,000 to clean one kilometer using ionic nano copper technology, currently being piloted in the Eastern Region.

The river's degradation is primarily due to illegal mining, affecting water quality and local communities. Sustained funding is essential for restoring the river to acceptable environmental standards.
