Elated to announce this. We collabd with IWMI to understand risks to groundwater with expanding small holder SWP access in SSA. While the risks are minimal in the short to mid term, the research explores ways in which long term sustainability of ground water can be ensured

[Efficiency for Access @EforA_Coalition]

Our latest research report, in collaboration with @IWMI_, explores the potential for sustainable expansion of #solar water pumping in Sub-Saharan Africa.
