Groundwater assessment for IWRM planning
The purpose of the groundwater assessment was to complete an evaluation of groundwater resources in the Pangani Basin and produce information that can be incorporated into an IWRM plan for the whole basin. Ground water resources assessment should be carried out for the whole basin and should include quantification of potential yields from the aquifers, a hydrogeological analysis and classification of hydrogeological characteristics of the basin.
Objectives of the groundwater assessment included:
1. Determine the availability of groundwater, demand for groundwater and its development potential;
2. Design a groundwater management framework which integrates with IWRM planning; and
3. Build capacity of PBWB and key stakeholders in groundwater assessment and management
