Where is the world’s largest man-made lake located?

The world’s largest man-made lake by surface area is Lake Volta in Ghana. It was created in the 1960s by the construction of the Akosombo Dam, which dammed the Volta River. The reservoir covers a huge area and became a major source of hydroelectric power for the country. Lake Volta is often cited as one of the largest reservoirs in the world. Its formation also displaced many communities and transformed transport and fishing in the region.
