…the Untapped Potential of Groundwater in Tackling Water Scarcity
AFRICA has been facing severe and recurring droughts, exacerbated by climate change, leading to food insecurity, economic challenges, and heightened conflict risks. Despite these issues, the real problem isn’t the scarcity of water but limited access to it.
Beneath Africa’s surface lies a vast resource—groundwater. With reserves far more significant than those in rivers, lakes, and dams, groundwater could be a game-changer for the continent, especially in regions like Libya, Egypt, Sudan, and South Africa.
However, careful management is crucial to ensure its sustainability for future generations. The solution to Africa’s water crisis is right beneath our feet— it’s time to unlock its potential.
