Volta er en af Vestafrikas store livgivende floder. Den udspringer i Burkina Faso, der tidligere hed Øvre Volta, og løber gennem Ghana ud i Guineabugten. Flodens tre grene kaldes Hvide Volta, Sorte Volta og Røde Volta.

CGIAR Climate's insight:
Higher average temperatures, seen to be rising by up to 3,6 degrees Celsius over the next century, and reduced rainfall could see water flows in the basin drop by 24 percent by 2050, and 45 percent by 2100, according to a new study by the International Water Management Institute (IWMI).
