Volta River Basin

The Volta River Basin is a large area in West Africa that covers parts of countries like Ghana, Burkina Faso, Togo, and Ivory Coast. It includes the Volta River and its tributaries, which flow into Lake Volta, one of the world's largest artificial reservoirs. The basin provides vital resources, such as water for farming, drinking, and industry, and generates significant hydroelectric power through dams like the Akosombo Dam. It supports diverse ecosystems and communities, making it crucial for regional agriculture, energy, and development. Sustainable management of the basin is essential for economic growth and environmental health in the region.
