Management of groundwater in Africa including transboundary aquifers: implications for food security, livelihood and climate change adaptation
Groundwater development across much of sub-Saharan Africa is constrained by a lack of knowledge on the suitability of aquifers for borehole construction. The main objective of this study was to map groundwater potential at the country-scale for Ghana to identify locations for developing new suppl...
