Northern Ghana has been a pilot region for implementing drinking water programs. The Canadian International Development Agency (CIDA) has acted as a key player in constructing hand pumps and small-town water systems, as well as in designing institutional frameworks for their delivery and management, which have been subsequently up-scaled to national level. Water rights are neither uniform nor immune to institutional drawbacks. The ethnographic study analyzes the history of water supply in a rural settlement from the mid-1960s through to 2012, and outlines the evolution of local law. It shows that water development is a non-progressive, multi-directional and hegemonic process that is driven by institutional bricolage and rule making in external and local political arenas.

This data shows annual rainfall data of 2013 in Ghana and Burkina Faso. This rainfall data was extracted from Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM) dataset by NASA. Rainfall data based on TRMM is estimated on a global 0.25 ° x 0.25 ° grid over the latitude band 50 ° N-S within about seven hours of observation time.
