Bia River

For the river in Brazil, see Biá River.

The Bia is a river that is situated primarily in Ghana and flows through Ghana and Ivory Coast,^[1] emptying into Aby Lagoon on the Ghanaian/Ivory Coast border.^[2] A hydroelectric dam was built across the Bia at Ayamé in 1959, causing the formation of Lake Ayame.^[3][4]
