Lake Buyo ( _fr. Lac de Buyo) is an artificial lake in western Cote d'Ivoire on the Sassandra River. It was formed by the construction of the Buyo Dam at Buyo in 1980. [ [http://www.country-data.com/cgi-bin/query/r-6974.html Ivory Coast - Country Listing] ]

The water quality of the lake has suffered from disposal of untreated effluents and overuse of fertilizers in the surrounding areas. [ [http://www.idrc.org/en/ev-27400-201-1-DO_TOPIC.html Looking Beyond the Environment - IDRC] ]
