[@vsmarketingghana185]

This is all very nice what we saw there in this video. But more interesting to know is the sanitation concept of this project. We saw bathrooms and toilets. Where is the sewage going??? Is this another project from Been tos which pollute our environments ?? We have already the fish cages spoiling the lakes waters and create massive problems, even for the VRA Turbines. And what is the Bilharziosis protection for anyone using this pool?? Only at the Volta Delta at Ada we have save waters to swim in on the whole Volta. Any kind of floating habitat creates problems to the environment. World Wide. Pls add to this video the more important informations.

@@vsmarketingghana185 Reading between the lines, I can see envy embedded in your comment

[@vsmarketingghana185]

@@nobs997 Y are absolutely wrong. I am dealing with much more beautiful ideas as this one. But from the point of environment. And when we are called in we find out many times that there are no needed standards kept as the Been toes think what is standard abroad, they dont have to care about in GH. And Vanessa is not the construction expert to ask the right questions to be answered. Take such clips always with a spoon, not a pinch, of salt.

This is one of my dreams to live in Afrika on the water, not on land; for me the water is Divine. I lived in the Netherlands and saw houses on the water as well as houseboats in India. This one is so cool. Great Idea.
