The Tono and Vea irrigation dams, once reliable lifelines for dry-season farming in the Upper East Region, are now under growing threat. The Tono Dam, located in Navrongo in the Kasena-Nankana Municipality, and the Vea Dam, located in the Bongo District, have for decades sustained thousands of smallholder farmers. According to the Acting Managing Director of ICOUR, the Tono and Vea irrigation dams are silted due to encroachment. “For instance, the Tono dam is estimated to be about ten percent silted. As climate change continues to reshape farming in northern Ghana, the experience of the Tono and Vea dams highlights a broader challenge: infrastructure built for yesterday’s climate must now adapt to today’s realities.
