| Summary / Abstract (Note) | A
cross Africa, deep beneath a host
of varied terrains, vast groundwater reserves lie almost untouched.
These aquifers are some 410,000 cubic
miles thick and contain 100 times the
freshwater that exists on the continent's
surface. As Africa's population expands,
these aquifers could prove critical in
increasing food production, reducing
poverty, and adapting to climate change. |
