Groundwater and Climate in Africa

Current assessments of the impacts of climate variability and change on water resources commonly exclude groundwater, an omission of concern in Africa where current water usage and future adaptations in response to climate variability and change, together with population growth, place considerable reliance upon groundwater to meet domestic, agricultural and industrial water needs. This collection of papers includes the Kampala Statement, and addresses: Impact of climate variability and change on groundwater-based livelihoods; Impact of climate variability and change on groundwater and groundwater-fed ecosystems; Monitoring and modelling groundwater use and replenishment; Estimation of groundwater resources and demand under a changing climate; and Groundwater management in Africa.
