Groundwater & Climate in Africa - an international conference

Current assessments of the impacts of climate variability and change on water resources commonly exclude groundwater. This omission is of particular concern in Africa where current usage and future adaptations in response to climate change and rapid population growth, place considerable reliance upon groundwater to meet domestic, agricultural, and industrial water demands. The Groundwater and Climate in Africa conference enabled water and climate scientists and policy makers to share knowledge and expertise and thereby improve current understanding of the impact of climate and development on groundwater resources in Africa.
