Mouhoun, also known as the Black Volta, is a significant river in West Africa. It flows through several countries, including Burkina Faso and Ghana, and is an important water source for local communities. The river is known for its rich biodiversity and supports various ecosystems along its banks. The Mouhoun River is approximately 400 kilometers long and plays a crucial role in agriculture and fishing for the surrounding populations. It eventually joins the Volta River, contributing to the larger Volta River Basin, which is vital for both environmental sustainability and economic activities in the region.
