Explore the practicalities of implementing transboundary aquifer management in Africa through this 58-minute webinar. Delve into the experiences of two aquifers in the Southern African Development Community (SADC) projects on the Ramotswa and Stampriet systems. Gain insights into tools that can strengthen the management of shared groundwater resources. Learn about the growing recognition of transboundary groundwater and aquifers in Africa, and understand the challenges and solutions in data acquisition, conjunctive water management, and data collection. Examine the phases of implementation, including baseline reports, agricultural water solutions, and the establishment of groundwater hydrology committees. Discover the lessons learned from these projects and how they can guide future efforts in transboundary aquifer cooperation across the continent.
