STORY HIGHLIGHTS
- People in southern Africa are largely dependent on groundwater shared between countries and communities for health and well-being, food production, and economic growth.
- As climate variability alters the amount of surface water that is available, people in the region are increasingly turning to groundwater, which is already challenged by threats of depletion and pollution.
- With CIWA support, the Southern African Development Community has established the Groundwater Management Institute to better understand the region’s needs and manage the hidden resource together.
