I'm the stream, sit and pay attention to my insight" (Ian Menard, 1994). Streams and other water bodies have been crucial for human life starting from the dawn of mankind because of their shifted uses like transportation, water system, fishing, the travel industry, and hydropower age. They are a huge traction for nearby and provincial financial turn of events. Inland Streams (IW) are traversable waterways that are fundamental to the development of cargoes and travelers with the utilization of watercraft, for example, boats, boats, ships, water transports, kayaks, and freight barges. Waterways, lakes, streams, tidal ponds, and channels are instances of safe Inland Streams (IW).
Ghana is gifted with various inland waterways. The Volta Lake, alongside the upstream Volta Streams, Afram Waterway, and the Oti Stream, are Ghana's most unmistakable Inland Streams (IW). The Volta Lake, one of the world's biggest fake lakes, which was framed after the development of the Akosombo dam covers an area of around 8,500 km2. The whole Volta framework traverses around 1,600 kilometers and channels an area of roughly 388,000 square kilometers, of which around 158,000 square kilometers are inside Ghana.
In any case, there is little data on the traversability of other water bodies in Ghana, including the Pra and Ankobrah Streams, which were beforehand fundamental wellsprings of freight transport. Other more modest streams and significant autonomous waterways, like the Birim, Densu and Tano waterways, can be tracked down in different regions around the nation, and some of them might be traversable however not to their full length.
These various water bodies can be taken advantage of to improve Inland Water Transportation (IWT). The Volta framework, for instance, can interface the southern, center, northern belts, and landlocked nations. This should be possible related to laying out an incorporated multimodal transportation passage on the grounds that Inland Streams (IW) need consistent network.
