Groundwater and Climate Change in Africa

CHIPS recently collaborated with the University of Birmingham to produce a paper entitled:

Climate change impacts on groundwater recharge in northeastern Uganda and the potential role of groundwater development in livelihood adaptation and peace building.

This was a contribution to an international conference in Kampala in June 2008 which brought together more than 300 water scientists, managers and policy makers from 23 countries in Africa and 14 countries from the rest of the world to discuss the challenges facing Africa in terms of the impacts of climate change on groundwater resources.
