Improved understanding of groundwater risks and institutional responses against competing growth and development goals is central to accelerating and sustaining Africa's development. Africa's groundwater systems are a critical but poorly understood socio-ecological system. Explosive urban growth, irrigated agricultural expansion, industrial pollution, untapped mineral wealth, rural neglect and environmental risks often converge to increase the complexity and urgency of governance challenges across Africa's groundwater systems. These Africa-wide opportunities and trade-offs are reflected in Kenya where the government's unifying Vision 2030 aims to double the irrigated agricultural area whilst simultaneously promoting the growth of high-value mineral resources. Institutional capacity to govern interactions between economic activities, water resource demands and poverty outcomes are currently constrained by insufficient knowledge and lack of effective management tools. The overarching project aim is to design, test and transfer a novel, interdisciplinary and replicable Groundwater Risk Management tool to improve governance transformations to balance economic growth, groundwater sustainability and human development trade-offs.The project will make four major contributions to support interdisciplinary science and governance of managing groundwater risks for growth and development in Africa:a) An automated, daily monitoring network for shallow groundwater levels - the first system of its kind in the world and replicable at scale.b) A new Groundwater Risk Management Tool which is transferable and sustainable in Africa.c) New epidemiological insights into the health impacts of faulty or intermittent water supplies.d) Improved theory and evidence of groundwater governance and poverty pathways.

提高对地下水风险的认识以及对相互竞争的增长和发展目标的体制反应，对于加速和维持非洲的发展至关重要。非洲的地下水系统是一个至关重要但人们知之甚少的社会生态系统。爆炸性的城市增长、灌溉农业扩张、工业污染、未开发的矿产财富、农村忽视和环境风险往往汇聚在一起，增加了整个非洲地下水系统治理挑战的复杂性和紧迫性。这些非洲范围内的机遇和权衡在肯尼亚得到了反映，肯尼亚政府的统一愿景2030旨在将灌溉农业面积增加一倍，同时促进高价值矿产资源的增长。目前，由于知识不足和缺乏有效的管理工具，管理经济活动、水资源需求和贫困结果之间相互作用的机构能力受到限制。该项目的总体目标是设计、测试和转让一种新的、跨学科的、可复制的地下水风险管理工具，以改善治理转型，平衡经济增长、地下水可持续性和人类发展之间的权衡。该项目将为支持跨学科科学和管理地下水风险的治理以促进非洲的增长和发展作出四项主要贡献：a)建立一个浅层地下水水位的自动化日常监测网络——这是世界上第一个此类系统，并可大规模复制。(b)在非洲可转让和可持续的新的地下水风险管理工具。(c)关于供水故障或间歇性供水对健康影响的流行病学新见解。d)改进地下水治理和贫困途径的理论和证据。
