Editor’s message: Building capacity and partnerships towards sustainable utilization of groundwater in Africa
Abstract
This Editor’s Message advises the international groundwater fraternity of new opportunities in hydrogeological
developments in Africa. It is a fact that groundwater plays
a vital role in socio-economic and ecological services in
the continent but it has been largely neglected in the past.
With the 6th Ordinary Session of AMCOW (African
Ministers’ Council on Water) held in Brazzaville, Congo
in late May 2007, the profile of groundwater in the
continent has been raised.
