WIRE — Few countries in the world have had to confront water as relentlessly as the Netherlands. Yet, despite living under conditions that would seem almost impossible, it has become one of the safest and most prosperous countries in the world. There is an important lesson there for Ghana. The Netherlands is a remarkably low-lying country. Nearly one-third of its land lies below sea level, while more than half of the country is vulnerable to flooding from the sea, rivers or heavy rainfall. In many places, water sits above the level of the surrounding land. By comparison, Ghana's geography is considerably more favourable. Although we face coastal erosion, seasonal flooding, overflowing rivers and intense rainfall, the vast majority of our country lies well above sea level.
