Black Volta


The Black Volta or Mouhoun is a river that flows through Burkina Faso flowing about 1,352 km to the White Volta in Dagbon, Ghana. The source of the Black Volta is in the Cascades Region of Burkina Faso, close to Mount Tenakourou, the highest point of the country. Further downstream it forms part of the border between Ghana and Côte d'Ivoire and Burkina Faso. Within Ghana, it forms the border between the Northern Region and the Brong-Ahafo Region. The Bui Dam is built on the river in Ghana. The river bisects Bui National Park in Ghana.
