Resilience in the Limpopo Basin : The potential role of the transboundary Ramotswa aquifer - Baseline report

Abstract

The overall objective of the RAMOTSWA project is to support a long-term joined vision and cooperation on the shared groundwater resources of the Upper Limpopo region, where the states share significant and valuable underground freshwater resources as well as space for enhanced subsurface water storage. The project will facilitate and promote joint management and better groundwater governance focused on coordination, scientific knowledge, social redress and environmental sustainability, in order to reduce poverty and inequity, increase prosperity, and improve livelihoods and water and food security in the face of climate change and variability.
