This brief document describes recommended policy and management measures for the Kagera Transboundary Aquifer. Recommendations are based on outcomes of a Shared Aquifer Diagnostic Analysis (SADA) and Groundwater Modelling, the activities carried out within a major groundwater project executed by the Nile Basin Initiative (NBI). SADA provides an overview of groundwater characteristics of Kagera River Basin, pointing out a limited knowledge on current state of groundwater resources, mainly due to insufficient monitoring. Analysis confirmed that groundwater is
underdeveloped, while the modelling indicated a groundwater potential to supply rapidly growing population of the Basin. To achieve that, concerted efforts of all stakeholders, from national governments to end users, are needed. Knowledge on groundwater and its importance can be strengthened through capacity building and awareness campaigns. Transboundary and conjunctive aspects of the current policy need to be updated and the management structure operationalized. Only in this way the access to clean and safe water can be preserved and improved.
