Africa Groundwater Atlas >> Groundwater Research in Africa

 This page is still being developed. 

Please cite page as: Africa Groundwater Atlas. 2019. Groundwater research in Africa. British Geological Survey. Accessed [date you accessed the information]. Weblink.


A series of pages providing more information on key current and past groundwater research themes and projects in Africa.


UPGro

The UK government supported UPGro research programme (2013-2019) funded the development of this Atlas, as well as a series of research projects aimed at Unlocking the Potential of Groundwater for the Poor. UPGro took a social and natural science approach to enabling sustainable use of groundwater for the benefit of the poor.

UPGro Phase 1 - Catalyst Projects

The first phase of the UPGro programme, from 2013 - 2015, was a series of short 'catalyst' projects investigating different aspects of how the use and understanding of groundwater in Africa interacts with with socio-economic conditions. You can read a summary of the results of these projects here: summary of UPGro catalyst projects in English / résumés des projets catalyseurs UPGro en Français).

UPGro Phase 2 - Consortium Projects

The second phase of the UPGro programme ran from 2015 - 2019 with five consortium projects taking forward detailed research on specific issues of groundwater relating to socio-economic conditions in Africa. These five projects were:

Gro for GooD

Gro for GooD (Groundwater risk management for growth and development), in Kenya

GroFutures

GroFutures (Groundwater Futures in Sub-Saharan Africa)

BRAVE

BRAVE (Building understanding of climate variability into planning of groundwater supplies from low storage aquifers in Africa), in Burkina Faso and Ghana.

T-GroUP

T-GroUP: experimenting with practical transition groundwater management strategies for the urban poor in Sub Saharan Africa, in Ghana, Tanzania and Uganda.

Hidden Crisis

Hidden Crisis: unravelling current failures for future success in rural groundwater supply, in Ethiopia, Malawi and Uganda.

UPGro Outputs

Outputs from the UPGro research projects are summarised on the UPGro webpages. They include:

- links to related peer reviewed papers by UPGro researchers
-conference presentations and posters
-project reports and briefings
-films
- academic theses
-magazine and news articles
-research data

Explore all the published UPGro work using this interactive systems map.

Groundwater research projects by country

A series of pages describing specific, usually relatively large, groundwater projects in particular countries.

Note: these are not comprehensive lists of groundwater projects: there are many more. If you have information on other significant groundwater projects in these or other countries in Africa, please let us know and we will add them to these lists. Contact us on AfricaGWAtlas@bgs.ac.uk

Groundwater research projects on transboundary aquifers

Conjunctive Water Management for Food Security and Resilience

A knowledge sharing platform by IWMI, which seeks to capture and disseminate highlights of the increasing knowledge base emerging from work on transboundary river-aquifer systems in the SADC region. Most focus is on three systems:
