Abstract

The Project - 'Enhancing Conjunctive Management of Surface Water and Groundwater Resources in Selected Transboundary Aquifers:
Case Study for selected Shared Groundwater Bodies in the Nile Basin is implemented with financial support from the Global Environment Facility (GEF) through the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP). Three aquifers were selected for the current intervention namely, Mt Elgon shared between Kenya and Uganda, Gedaref-Adigrat, shared between Ethiopia and The Sudan as well as Kagera shared among Burundi, Rwanda, Tanzania and Uganda. This booklet features stories about groundwater use in the two countries that share the Mt Elgon aquifer. The purpose is to raise awareness about the importance of groundwater and its potential to close the gap between water supply and water
demand, as well as in buffering the effects of climate variability.
