Groundwater Resource Mapping and Monitoring in Crystalline Basements in East Senegal

The project is aimed at two key benefits for locals: improve access to drinking water, and increase community participation in managing their water resources by using Electrical resistivity, ERT, TEM and low-cost sensors to map and monito groundwater resources to identify and protect drinking water sources and train 15-20 UCAD students via a field program.
