Conflict in the Kugha watershed

The Kugha watershed covers an area of about 90 hectares on the Kugha Hill. It is located in Ndu Sub-Division, in the Donga Mantung Division of the North West Province of Cameroon. The Kugha Hill is the highest point in Ndu and is known to be the coldest place in Cameroon due to its altitude. It is bounded by Mbandfung village to the south-west, Ntumbaw village to the south, Wowo village and Kakar Quarter to the north and Sehn village to the east. Of the numerous springs that flow from this watershed, 11 catchments have been tapped to provide potable water for the villages, quarters and individuals living within the communities of Kugha. With some water catchments still left unexploited, the watershed is seen to be a potential potable water source for surrounding communities and its environs if properly managed.
