Integration of Groundwater Management into River Basin Organizations in Southern Africa [Experience Note]
SADC-GMI signed Memoranda of Understanding with River Basin Organizations in the SADC region to foster collaboration in ensuring that groundwater issues were included on the Work Plans of the RBO Commissions. SADC-GMI implemented research project on the Shire Transboundary River/Aquifer system shared by Malawi and Mozambique in order to investigate and subsequently promote the concept of ‘Conjunctive Water Resources Management’. SADC-GMI delivered trainings to build skills and raise awareness among the RBO water practitioners working in or with river basin organizations in the SADC region from River basin organizations’ secretariats, Member State Ministries’ staff responsible for transboundary water management, Organizations with an interest in groundwater management, and Organizations that promote integrated water resources management in the region
