Statement

Field studies were carried out in Uganda and Tanzania, targeting boreholes and wellfields that were already supplying >1l/s. The aim was to assess the reliability of these larger supplies, and work out the conditions necessary to have these larger supplies by gathering historical data on borehole performance, interpreting aquifer test data and taking various samples for groundwater residence times. In depth discussions of methodology are presented in the associated outputs.
