Reducing uncertainty in the renewability and quantity of accessible groundwater to meet future demands for food, water and environmental services.
Promoting inclusion of poor people’s voices in decision-making processes on grountwater development pathways.
Intensified groundwater dependency as demand for food and water rises and variability in rainfall and river flow increases due to climate change.
GroFutures will develop an inclusive, participatory framework for groundwater governance in which the views of poor women and men are considered together with the trade-offs associated with groundwater development pathways.
GroFutures will apply new geophysical techniques and compile long-term observations of groundwater levels from our Network of African Groundwater Observatories to substantially improve knowledge of the renewability and volume of groundwater in Sub-Saharan Africa.
