The White Volta or Nakambé is the headstream of the Volta River, Ghana's main waterway.[1] [2] The White Volta emerges in northern Burkina Faso, flows through Northern Ghana and empties into Lake Volta in Ghana.[1] The White Volta's main tributaries are the Black Volta and the Red Volta.[1]
The White Volta is a major source of drinking water for many communities along its banks and others. lt also causes seasonal flooding[3] to many of the communities along its banks.
