Objective

The objective of the SADC Groundwater and Drought Management Project is the development of consensus on a SADC regional strategic approach to support and enhance the capacity of its Member States in the definition of drought management policies, specifically in relation to the role, availability (magnitude and recharge) and supply potential of groundwater resources.

The Groundwater and Drought Management Project contributes to the implementation of the SADC Regional Strategic Action Plan (RSAP) on Integrated Water Resources Development and Management which has a Groundwater Management Programme as one of its key components on the planning and management of regional water resources.
