The world's largest reservoir
It is the largest man-made reservoir in the world, with a length of 900 kilometers and a maximum depth of 74 meters. The area of this reservoir is very large, up to 8,482 square kilometers, so the capacity is also super large, and the people of this country say that this reservoir is the one that feeds their whole country.
Ghana's topography is high in the north and low in the south, and the Volta River, the largest river in Ghana, also flows from north to south and injects into the Gulf of Guinea. And Ghana's decision to build a reservoir on the Volta River was really forced out by God. Ghana is a country prone to drought, and 28 million people rely on the Volta River for drinking water. However, Ghana's annual dry season is not short, from November to April of the following year. The Volta River flows continuously during normal times, but in the dry season, the water is drunk by God, so what do people drink?
Ghana is a very poor country, plus the country often drought, so the World Bank funded the country to build the reservoir, otherwise the country will be poorer than now, it is really impossible to imagine how poor. So now many people in this country are raising fish in this reservoir, using the water in this reservoir irrigation, at least can still ensure food, or very good, and the country's landscape is very good, I believe that when the development of tourism will be much better economic it.
