The municipality of Tamale is the most urbanised district in the entire northern part of Ghana. Approximately, one third of the population in Tamale is served with potable water, while the rest depends on dams and dugouts that retain runoff from the previous rainy season. This situation makes vegetable gardeners use almost any water that they can lay their hands on, regardless of its source and especially during the dry season.
