The White Volta River is one of the two main tributaries of the Volta River in Ghana, flowing from Burkina Faso through the Upper East Region and merging with the Black Volta to form the main Volta River. The river supports numerous fishing communities along its banks, particularly in the Upper East and Northern regions, providing livelihoods through artisanal fishing and serving as a vital water resource for irrigation and domestic use. These fishing communities rely on traditional and modern fishing methods to harvest tilapia, catfish, and other freshwater species.
