Developing economies like Ghana have suffered the downside of poor management of the already inadequate electrical energy at its disposal. This is as a result of limited research into factors that influences electricity energy consumption, most importantly, the effects of climatic variables on electricity energy consumption. This research work explores the causal connection between climatic variables and electricity energy consumption, and develops a Vector Auto Regression (VAR) model to determine the influence of the climatic variables in forecasting electricity energy consumption in Yendi Municipality in the northern region of Ghana. The climatic factors considered in this work are; Rainfall (Rain), maximum temperature (T max), Sunshine (Sun), Wind (wind) and Relative Humidity (RH). The Granger causality tests employed in this work revealed that aside from Relative Humidity, the end energy consumption is affected by the other four climatic factors under consideration. The impulse response was used to ascertain the active interaction among electricity energy consumption and the climatic variables. The impulse response of electricity energy consumption to the climatic variables indicates a maximum positive effect of Temperature and Sunshine on electricity energy consumption in March and September respectively. The VAR model was also used in forecasting future consumption of electricity energy. The results indicate excellent forecasts of electricity energy consumption for the first four months of 2019.

The resource has sometimes been rendered unsuitable for use due to contamination from various sources. In this study, a factor model was developed to determine the major hydrochemical processes that control the variations in the concentrations of fluoride and other ions in the groundwater delivered by the Middle Voltaian aquifers in Savelugu and surrounding areas in the Northern Region of Ghana. This study finds that four major processes control the hydrochemistry of groundwater resources in the area: dissolution of soluble salts in the aquifers, the oxidation of organic carbon by nitrate, silicate mineral weathering and the dissolution of sulfate minerals in the aquifers. The present study finds that fluoride enrichment is related to the weathering of silicate minerals. A linear interpolation map, showing the distribution of fluoride concentrations in the groundwater system has been produced. ...
