	Gro for GooD (Groundwater risk management for growth and development), in Kenya		Gro for GooD: Groundwater risk management for growth and development. The project aimed to develop and test a Groundwater Risk Management Tool to help government and groundwater users balance the demands of human development and better health, economic growth and groundwater sustainability so that the poorest benefit. Research focussed on the questions:

			* How can risks to groundwater quality and quantity for drinking water security be identified and reduced?
			* How can groundwater governance be designed to balance growth and development?
			* What are the most significant and uncertain future scenarios affecting sustainable groundwater use for the poor?

			The project focussed on the Kwale County area of southeast Kenya, where the poverty rate is high and there is intensive use of groundwater for urban water supply, sugar cane irrigation and mining. The research brought together rigorous analysis and modelling of environmental, social, economic and governance systems and processes. While sensitive to context of Kwale, the Groundwater Risk Management Tool was designed to be flexible so that it can be scaled-up across Kenya and can be adapted to other countries and contexts.

	GroFutures (Groundwater Futures in Sub-Saharan Africa)		GroFutures: Groundwater Futures in Sub-Saharan Africa. The project aimed to develop a scientific basis and identify inclusive, participatory management processes by which groundwater resources can be used sustainably for poverty alleviation in Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA). The research focussed on:

			* Reducing uncertainty in the renewability and quantity of accessible groundwater to meet future demands for food, water and environmental services.
			* Promoting inclusion of poor people’s voices in decision-making processes on groundwater development pathways.
			* Intensified groundwater dependency as demand for food and water rises and variability in rainfall and river flow increases due to climate change.

			The project established a Network of African Groundwater Observatories (NAGO) to promote collection, assimilation and use of long term groundwater data. The NAGO comprises three Basin Observatories in Ethiopia (Upper Awash), Niger and Nigeria (Iullemmeden), and Tanzania (Great Ruaha) and four smaller Site Observatories in Benin, Burkina Faso, South Africa and Uganda. The Observatories include dedicated, detailed groundwater, soil and hydrometeorological monitoring stations, and provide high quality, detailed groundwater data as well as allowing detailed site experiments to explore hydrogeological processes and groundwater resilience.
