Africa Groundwater Atlas

This Atlas provides a summary of the hydrogeology and groundwater resources of 51 African countries, and a gateway to further information. The aim of the Atlas is to improve the availability and accessibility of high quality information on groundwater in Africa, to support the safe and sustainable development and use of groundwater resources.

As well as information on individual countries, Atlas provides links to further information, including through the Africa Groundwater Literature Archive, and also provides supporting information on many groundwater-related issues that affect sustainable groundwater development, management and use.
