Abstract

Groundwater is Africa’s most precious
natural resource, providing reliable
water supplies to at least a third of the
continent’s population. Where it can be
found, groundwater has many advantages
over river water: it is naturally protected
from contamination, able to provide water
throughout dry seasons and droughts, and
can often be found close to the point of
need and therefore developed incrementally
and at low cost.
