Scientists say the notoriously dry continent of Africa is sitting on a vast reservoir of groundwater. Across Africa more than 300 million people are said not to have access to safe drinking water. The researchers say their new maps indicate that many countries currently designated as reserves. They suggest that widespread drilling of large boreholes might not work. Appropriately sited and devolped boreholes for low yielding rural water supply and hand pumps are likely to be successful.
This research, which the British Government has funded, could have a profound effect on some os the world's poorest people, helping them become less vulnerable to drought and to adapt to the impact of climate change.
This is an important discovery. Because it could have a profound effecr on some of the world's poorest people, helping them become less vulnerable to drought and to adapt to the impacte of climate change. This discovery help many countries to live in better conditions, have drinking water, which can grow food resources and thus decrease mortality significantly.
