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