4. Black Volta River, downstream from Bui Dam, 2016
- Description:
- The Bui Hydroelectric Dam reduced the Black Volta River's downstream flow, exposing here the rocky river bed that was once home to a braided river channel. Fishing is no longer viable in these downstream areas. Here the river is viewed (looking southeast) from the newly constructed bridge that crosses the Black Volta River, a short distance downstream from the dam. Bui Dam site, 18 June, 2016.

5. Motor-powered fishing boat moored on Bui Lake, 2016
- Description:
- An outboard motor-powered fishing boat used by commercial fisherman on the newly formed Bui Lake. The Ewe families who fished the waters of the Black Volta River in this area before Bui Dam was built fished from small canoes. Those small boats are unsafe on the lake formed by Bui Dam because of the lake's unpredictable winds and waves. Fishing on the lake therefore requires access to capital that many local fishermen lack. Trees inundated by the rising lake waters are visible in the background. Two photos. Bui Lake, near Bongase, June, 2016.
