minus-squarezksmk@sopuli.xyzOPMlinkfedilinkarrow-up1·1 year agoKind of, yes. Surprisingly not that much. But enough to divert all the local water northward apparently. What’s interesting is that all the other surrounding water flows southward. Burkina Faso even used to be called Upper Volta, because of the largest river there.
