Black Volta is a river that flows through Burkina Faso flowing about 1,352 km (840 mi) to the White Volta in Ghana. The Black Volta separates the Northern region of North Ghana's southern border and the Brong-Ahafo region of South Ghana's northern border. Black Volta forms a small part of the international border between Ghana and Ivory Coast, and also a section of border between Ghana and Burkina Faso, rising in western Burkina Faso.
