Groundwater provides an important buffer to climate variability in Africa. Yet groundwater irrigation contributes only a relatively little share of cultivated land, approximately 1% (about 2 million hectares) as compared to 14% in Asia. While groundwater is over-exploited for irrigation in many p...

Recent attention to transboundary aquifers (TBAs) in Africa reflects the growing importance of these resources for development in the continent. However, relatively little research on these aquifers and their best management strategies has been published. This report recapitulates progress on map...

The abundance of groundwater resources of Sub-Saharan Africa is generally well recognized, but quantitative estimates of their potential for irrigation development are lacking. This study derives estimates using a simple and generic water balance approach and data from secondary sources for 13 co...

Pavelic, PaulVillholth, Karen G.Verma, Shilp[Identifying the barriers and pathways forward for expanding the use of groundwater for irrigation in Sub-Saharan Africa]Identifying the barriers and pathways forward for expanding the use of groundwater for irrigation in Sub-Saharan Africa

Groundwater represents close to 99% of all unfrozen fresh water in the world. Groundwater makes up one third of all water being used, provides almost half of the world’s population with domestic water1, and is the source of almost half of the water used for irrigation worldwide.


Villholth, Karen G.Signs, Mia[Groundwater: critical for sustainable development.]Groundwater: critical for sustainable development.

With decreasing aquifer levels, increasing groundwater pollution, inequitable access, and generally poor management outcomes, better groundwater governance has been put forward as a recipe to address these challenges worldwide. Existing recommendations focus on improved legal frameworks, monitori...


Closas, AlvarVillholth, Karen G.[Groundwater governance: addressing core concepts and challenges]Groundwater governance: addressing core concepts and challenges

Groundwater quantity and quality may be affected by climate change through intricate direct and indirect mechanisms. At the same time, population growth and rapid urbanization have made groundwater an increasingly important source of water for multiple uses around the world, including southern Af...

Lao PDR (Laos) is a landlocked country of around seven million people situated in the heart of the Mekong region (Fig. 1). Listed amongst the 47 UN-designated Least Developed Countries, its level of socioeconomic development is comparable to that of neighboring Myanmar and Cambodia but significan...


Pavelic, PaulVillholth, Karen G.[Research to support sustainable groundwater development and governance in Laos]Research to support sustainable groundwater development and governance in Laos

Denmark is making continuous efforts to attain sustainable groundwater management. With groundwater constituting virtually the only resource for all water uses, groundwater management was addressed early on and has progressed over the last century. This article gives an overview of the advances, ...
