			===Improving the Capacities of Groundwater Protection in Zambia===

			This project, which finishes in 2022, involves BGR with the Ministry of Water Supply, Sanitation and Environmental Protection and the technical institutions WARMA and LWSC, and aims to improve groundwater management and protection in Zambia. There are three main objectives:

			- Exploration of a future groundwater abstraction well field and support in the delineation of a groundwater protection zone for the well field, to improve the quality and quantity of Lusaka's drinking water supply;
			- Development of training modules on borehole construction quality assurance for drilling companies and authorities, to improve the quality of borehole construction and of data collection during drilling (especially borehole completion reports); and
			- Establishment of a digital information platform for easy access to spatial groundwater data for Lusaka.

	The Groundwater Resources Management Support Programme ran from 2009 to 2015, in partnership with the Water Resources Management Authority (WARMA). It focused on the application of a national groundwater database and in enhancing awareness and capacity in the Zambian water sector, including groundwater resource management and protection, and data collection and analysis. It included working with WARMA to strengthen the institutional framework for groundwater resource planning and management, such as developing and implementing groundwater management plans in a pilot catchment.
