Know Your Land Before You Buy
Is the land you want to buy actually safe?
Before you pay a deposit or sign anything — check the land first. SafeGround tells you if a plot in Ghana has flood risk, soil problems, or other hidden dangers.

How to read it
Three signals, one simple meaning
The colours help you decide how urgently a finding needs follow-up. They are screening signals, not approvals.
GreenNo major concern found in the available data. Still verify before buying or building.
AmberSomething needs closer checking, professional advice or possible mitigation.
RedA serious concern was found. Do not commit until a qualified professional investigates it.
Data gapThe check could not be confirmed. Treat this as a question to investigate—not as a pass.
Important: SafeGround does not confirm land ownership, legal boundaries, title validity, planning permission or building approval.

Screening scope
What the screening checks
Each site is assessed against seventeen environmental and site risk indicators.
Flood & Drainage Risk
Proximity to flood-prone zones, water bodies, and drainage channels.
Wetlands & Lagoon Context
Checks mapped wetlands, nearby lagoon catchments and combined flood-retention warning signals.
River & Water Setbacks
Checks against river corridor setback distances (riparian buffers).
Protected Areas
Overlap or proximity to forest reserves, national parks, and WDPA-listed zones.
Road Corridor Setbacks
Checks against required building setbacks from major roads.
Slope & Terrain
SRTM 30m elevation data used to assess slope stability risk.
Seismic Hazard
Regional seismic risk based on the Akwapim fault zone and Ghana hazard zones.
Soil Type
Indicative soil type and bearing suitability for foundation and development.
Infrastructure Access
Proximity to urban centres and national power grid access.
Coastal Erosion
Shoreline change risk based on CSIR-WRI studies and IPCC AR6 West Africa coastal profile.
Industrial Contamination
Proximity to mining sites, galamsey areas, industrial zones, and known contamination hotspots.
Groundwater & Subsurface Water
Detects shallow water tables, spring/seep zones, and filled wetlands invisible to surface-water satellite sensors — a leading cause of foundation failure and rising damp.
High-Tension Electricity
Proximity to HT power transmission corridors and pylon easements with building restriction zones.
Illegal Mining (Galamsey)
Satellite-derived NDVI loss mask identifying areas affected by illegal small-scale mining activity.
Dam & Reservoir Spillage
Risk from proximity to dam inundation corridors and emergency spillage zones (Akosombo, Bui, Weija and others).
Drought Exposure
Long-term rainfall deficit patterns and SPEI-based drought frequency for the site region.
Institutional & Government Land
Overlap with military, government, utility, or institutional land reserves and exclusion zones.
