Applied Groundwater Studies in Africa (IAH Selected Papers on Hydrogeology, volume 13)

Scant attention has been paid to the systematic gathering of information on groundwater resources in the past few decades, resulting in patchy data, limited knowledge, and poorly targeted investment of resources. A compilation of information from across the groundwater community, Applied Groundwater Studies in Africa provides a picture of the work that has been done and the current understanding of groundwater resources in Africa. Designed to supply an applied perspective of developing and managing groundwater, the book’s coverage ranges from discussions of the role of groundwater in development and poverty reduction to techniques used to develop groundwater, to numerical modeling of larger aquifers.
