In Africa, groundwater is very important. It supports almost 100% of household and agricultural activities in rural areas. And, because it’s underground it’s protected from evaporation, a crucial resource in a warming climate.

In some countries groundwater is owned by the landowner, in others by the government. Generally, it’s being poorly managed across the continent.
