Dam for the River Volta, making Lake Volta, world's largest artificial lake. This dam provides potentially 1020MW of hydroelectric power for most of Ghana and until recently, a lot was also exported to neighbouring countries. Unfortunately, low levels of water in the dam has led to power rationing.
