community problem at abutia kpota
DESCRIPTION
it is a provost special initiative for we the student to think about our community and come up with an engineering problem and how we can approach it as upcoming engineers.please comments are invited. i am anticipating to be come one of the finest lecturer Ghana will ever have.TRANSCRIPT

PROG: BSc. GEOLOGICAL ENGINEERING
INTRODUCTION ENGINEERING IN SOCIETY is aimed at encouraging
students early in their programs of study to draw a link between their chosen field of engineering and the application of this field to the issues that confront the day to day lives of people.
As an engineering student I have come to the realization of the need to make the world a better place to live by identifying the world challenges and making the necessary efforts of solving them. Engineering in society as it stands is my starting point of how to systematically, scientifically and technologically address the world challenges of today which can also be applicable tomorrow too.
COMMUNITY DESCRIPTION AND ITS PROBLEM
ABUTIA KPOTA is a farming community in the Volta region.
RICE FARMING is the lucrative work of all the other farming activities.
APPLICATION OF HERBICIDES in the farms causes unconscious poisoning of the water body which is the PROBLEM.
CHEMICALS (e.g. 2, 4 D AMINE) from the herbicides used in the farm pollute the water which the farmers and other inhabitants depend on for survival.
STOMACH ACHES AND OTHER SERIOUS HEALTH SICKNESSES are the results of the poisoning.
RESOLUTION OF THE PROBLEM RELATION OF THE PROBLEM AND FIELD OF
STUDY is that control of water pollution is one of the responsibilities of a GEOLOGICAL ENGINEER.
CLUES FROM FIELD OF STUDY TO CURB DOWN THE PROBLEM is simply following the set down procedures in identifying the chemicals and compounds and continuing to render them harmless.
TECHNOLOGICAL APPROACH to solving the problem is the putting of structures in place to control water movement in the field and also to other inhabitants that depend on water.
CONCLUSION
Stomach aches and other negative effects will be eroded if the solution lines are followed.
Developments can also be achieved through high yield because of the introduction of technology into the system.
RECOMMENDATIONS
SPECIAL CARE should be taken during the mechanism operations.
The mechanism can be upgraded to IRRIGATION SYSTEM.
EXPERTISE should also be included in the operation.
