The Red Volta or Nazinon is a waterway located in West Africa.[1] [2] It emerges near Ouagadougou in Burkina Faso and has a length of about 320 km at the end of which it joins the White Volta in Ghana.
The river is primarily located in Burkina Faso and crosses a segment of the international border between Burkina Faso and Ghana. It flows into Ghana's Upper East region and empties into the White Volta.
