The first artificial lake in North Carolina is often considered to be Lake Wylie, which was created in 1904 when the Catawba River was dammed for hydroelectric power generation. However, natural lakes such as Lake Mattamuskeet, the largest natural lake in the state, have existed long before that. Therefore, the concept of "first lake" can vary depending on whether one refers to artificial or natural lakes.
Lake Volta in Ghana has an area of 8,730 km2. It was created when the River Volta was dammed in 1966 (completed).

When a river is dammed, it creates a reservoir or an artificial lake upstream of the dam. This can lead to changes in the local ecosystem, including alterations in water temperature, sediment flow, and habitat for aquatic and terrestrial species. Additionally, the dam can cause changes in downstream river flow, potentially leading to reduced water availability and affecting the surrounding environment and communities.
A dammed lake is a man-made reservoir created by blocking a river with a dam to store water for various uses. An aquifer is an underground layer of rock or soil that holds water, serving as a natural reservoir. Dammed lakes are surface water sources, while aquifers store water underground.
