In most rural areas in west Africa , Mountain serves as source of water reservoir providing water flows into rivers and streams that provide drinking water for rural areas to compliment insufficient water provision from wells and water borehole provided by the government, During the Rainy season a lot of water are  stored by Mountain Floras and others directed straight into streams and rivers, The conversion of many of these Mountain areas into housing estates is having and impact in the sustainable availability of drinking water for the rural areas population further subjecting them to hardship.
