Groundwater – a vital source of water for drinking and irrigation across sub-Saharan Africa – is resilient to climate variability and change, according to a new study.
UNSW Sydney water engineers have revealed that investigating and managing groundwater resources more sustainably can be achieved at lower cost by using existing Earth and atmospheric tidal data.
The Director of CWI was recently quoted on the ABC story: ‘ Who's watching the water? Experts sound warning on deteriorating groundwater monitoring’
