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.

Description:: Bui Dam was built by Sinohydro, a state-owned Chinese hydropower engineering and construction company. Construction was begun in 2008 and the first turbines became operational in 2013. Here the dam is viewed looking northwest from the newly constructed bridge downstream. Reduced downstream flow of the Black Volta River has exposed the river's rocky bed. Bui Dam site, 18 June, 2016.
