Kyekyewere recorded the lowest pH (6.95) and conductivity (145.25\u00a0\u00b5S\/cm), but the highest turbidity (3725\u202fNTU), colour (4175\u00a0Hz) and TSS (4342.5\u00a0mg\/L). Forest cover declined by 10.72, 7.41, and 8.80 percentage points in Adwuman, Buabenso, and Kyekyewere, respectively, while light vegetation increased by 15.71, 15.00, and 18.93 points. Water coverage expanded by 10.81, 6.12, and 5.26 percentage points across the communities, indicating hydrological alteration.
