Key Points

Surface water in Lake Volta has changed significantly over the twenty-year period, prompting concern for local ecosystems.
Key evidence includes observed fluctuations in water levels and quality metrics captured through advanced analysis methods.
Machine learning techniques combined with hybrid spectral index assessments reveal patterns in the data over time.
The findings highlight the need for ongoing monitoring and may inform future environmental policy decisions.
