Groundwater Futures in Sub-Saharan Africa (GroFutures) will develop the scientific evidence and inclusive groundwater management processes by which groundwater resources can be used sustainably for poverty alleviation in Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA). It will improve understanding of the volume and renewability of groundwater in SSA, and develop robust models and tools to forecast available groundwater resources under changing climate, land-use and demand scenarios, including expansion of arable land under irrigation. GroFutures will examine current groundwater governance processes and identify pathways toward more sustainable and equitable use of groundwater resources that are reconciled to projections of changing demand and resource availability. It will assemble an international consortium of scientists with an unmatched track record of groundwater research and stakeholder engagement in SSA that both leverages substantial additional investment (£461,000) and engages with research and development communities across Anglophone and Francophone Africa. GroFutures will also establish a Network of African Groundwater Observatories that representing the primary groundwater environments and development governance challenges in SSA that features a new dataset of 25 records of groundwater-level observations that are 2 to 6 decades duration from across SSA enabling the most rigorous analysis of the relationships among climate, land-use and groundwater recharge that has ever been conducted in the tropics. Dedicated basin observatories will be constructed that will enable very detailed monitoring of the physical process by which groundwater is replenished and application of a new method for quantifying the volume of groundwater in African aquifers thereby overcoming fundamental limitations in present knowledge of groundwater in SSA. GroFutures will also employ an innovative and participatory approach to the management of groundwater which will enable for explicit consideration of the views of poor people in making decisions over the allocation and development of groundwater resources.

撒哈拉以南非洲（Grofutures）的地下水期货将开发科学证据和包容性的地下水管理过程，在这些过程中，地下水资源可以可持续地用于减轻撒哈拉以南非洲（SSA）的贫困。它将提高对SSA地下水的数量和可更新性的理解，并开发出强大的模型和工具，以预测气候，土地利用和需求情况下可用的地下水资源，包括在灌溉中扩大可耕地的土地。 Grofutures将检查当前的地下水治理过程，并确定与地下水资源更可持续和公平使用的途径，这些途径与不断变化的需求和资源可用性的项目相吻合。它将组成一个国际科学家联盟，具有无与伦比的地下水研究记录和在SSA中的利益相关者参与，这两者都利用了大量的额外投资（461,000英镑），并参与了英语和法语非洲的研究和发展社区。 Glofutures还将建立一个非洲地下水观察者网络，代表SSA中主要的地下水环境和发展治理挑战，其中包含25个新数据集的地下水级观察记录，这些数据集是2到60年的持续时间，这些记录持续了2到60年，从SSA中跨越了SSA的最严格的构建，从而实现了越来越多的构建，而这些构建的始终是偏向于地下的居民，这些构建的居民既可以观察到了，却是偏向于地下的居民，这些材料的居民却是偏向于地下的居民。对替换地下水的物理过程的详细监控，并应用了一种新方法，以量化非洲含水层中地下水的数量，从而克服了SSA地下水知识的基本限制。 Grofutures还将采用一种创新的参与方法来管理地下水，这将有助于明确考虑穷人的观点，以决定地下水资源的分配和发展。
