Company description
Lake Volta, artificial lake in Ghana. The lake is formed by the Akosombo Dam, which, begun in 1961 and completed in 1965, dammed the Volta River just south of Ajena and created a lake extending upstream from the Akosombo Dam to Yapei, beyond the former confluence of the Black Volta and White Volta rivers.

With a storage capacity of 124,000,000 acre-feet of water, Lake Volta is one of the largest man-made lakes in the world. It is about 250 miles long and covers 3,283 square miles, or 3.6 percent of Ghana’s area.
