Black Volta River

The Black Volta River is one of the three main tributaries of the Volta River system in Ghana, forming part of the country's northwestern border with CΓ΄te d'Ivoire and Burkina Faso. It flows southward through the Upper West and Bono regions before merging with the White Volta to form Lake Volta. The river has several traditional crossing points and ferries used by communities for transportation and trade, particularly in remote areas where bridges are limited.
