1. Edge of Bui Lake near Bongase, 2016

Description:

Standing on the edge of Bui Lake, northwest of Bongase. The lake waters rose behind Bui Dam after 2012, transforming local fishing practices. For generations local Ewe families used the type of canoe pictured here to fish on the Black Volta River. But these can only be used for near-shore fishing on Bui Lake because the lake's unpredictable winds and waves make them unsafe. Trees still stand in shallow waters along the lake's edge. Three photos. Bui Lake, near Bongase, 18 June, 2016.

2. Flooding across the Ahenkro-Bongase road, 2016

Description:

The flood zone of the newly formed Bui Lake extended further south than anticipated when lake levels rose behind Bui Dam after 2012. A section of the Ahenkro-Bongase road was flooded and a bypass around the flood zone had to be built. Here, shallow waters (center) spread out across the low landscape east of the Banda hills visible in the background. View to the southwest. First of five photos in a south-to-north panorama. South of Bongase, 18 June, 2016.

7. Canoe and fishing net, Bui Lake, 2016

Description:

Canoes like this one were the boats long used by Ewe fishing families on the Black Volta River in this area. These can only be used for near-shore fishing on the newly formed Bui Lake because winds and waves on the open lake are dangerous to small boats. Visible in the lake are the trees inundated as lake waters rose behind Bui Dam. Bui Lake, near Bongase, June, 2016.

8. Bui Power Authority sign on Ahenkro-Bongase road, 2016

Description:

A no-trespassing sign posted by the Bui Power Authority along the paved Ahenkro-Bongase road several kilometers north of Ahenkro identifies "land under acquisition" by the Bui Power Authority (BPA). Electrical poles and wires run along the roadside. The large land parcel under acquisition by BPA has long been home to farms worked by families in Ahenkro and Bongase. These farms produce food for household consumption and cash crops, including cashew. View looking northward, Ahenkro-Bongase road, June, 2016.
