Based on the findings of this research, the following actions are recommended:

x The KMA should use the presence of effluent streams and the identified typical wetland important vegetation species for each wetland as defining factors to delineate the wetland boundaries. This exercise should particularly target the relatively large stretches of wetlands at the KNSUT Police Station, FRNR farms, Atonsu, Family Chapel, Dakwadwom, Spetinpom and Golden Tulip Hotel. After delineating the wetland boundaries, all structures within the wetlands should be demolished. These recovered wetlands should be given special names and revegetated to recover their natural system functions. In doing this, the KMA should liaise with the Asantehene (King of Ashanti) to solicit his support to reduce opposition.

x The wetlands at the KNUST Police Station and Atonsu should be protected for their peat storage value. These sites could be further assessed for their potential to earn carbon credits for the city in the on-going climate change mitigation schemes. For example, the opportunities in the Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and forest Degradation (REDD+) programme being advocated by the United Nations could be tapped to facilitate the achievement of the Garden City status. This will also pave the way for Kumasi to meet the demands of the Millennium Cities Initiative and the Convention on Biological Diversity’s Global Partnership on Cities and Biodiversity.

x Relevant academic institutions and faculty should develop and actively focus their research on urban ecology. The research should include the use of vegetation for urban waste water treatment, wetland vegetation for storm water management and carbon sequestration. Site specific rainfall input should be studied to assess the wetland hydrodynamics and its influence on temporal variation in vegetation. Also, scientific input from this research and others should be the backbone for the management of the delineated wetland areas to conserve biodiversity and provide ideal environments for human relaxation.

x The KMA should endeavour not to site waste containers in wetlands to reduce the direct introduction of waste into stream channels. Where it is necessary to do so, a wall should be built around such a facility to contain any overflows. Also, waste collection in these poor neighbourhoods should be free so that residents are encouraged to use the designated dump sites. Anthropogenic activities around the wetlands should also be regulated to reduce the direct anthropogenic destruction and pollution of these habitats. In particular, car wash and repair shops should either be relocated or their waste be managed so that it is not directly introduced into the wetlands.

x Considering the limited financial resources available to the KMA, an engineering based urban drainage system is not feasible. The approach to managing floods in Kumasi should be a combination of the reconstruction of the wetlands as described above and social interventions. The social flood management elements in each suburb should be identified and prioritised for action to increase resilience and reduce the scope and incidence of floods. In this regard, the KMA and NADMO need to recognise and give the needed support to chiefs and assemblymen of these neighbourhoods and relevant NGOs who are better placed to achieve these objectives.

x The DEMC of the KMA should be strengthened to carry out their objectives and mandate. The powers vested in this Committee and its apolitical nature will make their actions more acceptable to the people. When operational, the DEMC should collaborate with the chiefs and assemblymen of the flood prone suburbs in enforcing community based flood and wetland management plans.
