One of the numerous resources we have as a country is our water resource. The Volta lake i guess is one of the longest man- made lake in the world. The lake takes its source from River Bobo Dioslaso in Burkina Faso and finally enters into the Atlantic Ocean at Ada in southern Ghana.. Apart from the water it supplies for the Hydro-Electric Power Production, it also serves as a major means of transport for people in the Volta basin (Canoes, Boats, Ferries, Pontoons etc). Ah! Don’t forget the tilapia we all enjoy is produced by this same lake just as other enjoyable crustaceans like oysters. Did you also know it serves as a source of water for drinking and general use by the households in the Volta Basin? Wow! Most vegetable farms in the area also use the lake to irrigate their farms. Now check this out, there are speed boats and other water borne vehicles you can cruise in providing recreation. I could go on and on but i want to whet your appetite and invite you to take a journey on the lake.
