In the White Volta Basin, access to groundwater of the right quality for domestic and related needs remains a challenge. This challenge is exacerbated by erratic patterns in rainfall, which affect agricultural practice and the temporal and spatial distribution of water resources. In this project, we undertake to conduct detailed hydrogeological investigations leading to the development a decision support system for the management of groundwater resources for domestic and irrigation purposes in the basin. The project is sponsored by the Danish International Development Agency, DANIDA, and led by the Department of Earth Science. The project is deploying a variety of techniques ranging from the processing of airborne geophysical data for the development of a geological model to guide the vertical discretization of the litho/hydrostratigraphy as part of the conceptualization of the hydrogeological framework; processing of existing geological and hydrogeological data; extensive stakeholder consultations; focused ground based geophysical surveys, drilling and installation of monitoring devices to obtain transient hydrological data; and 3D numerical groundwater modelling. The numerical model is expected to be calibrated under transient conditions and then validated in the field before being used to test scenarios of groundwater abstractions for irrigation purposes. The project is expected to end with a pilot groundwater based irrigation scheme with active involvement of the major stakeholders such as the White Volta Basin Secretariat, Water Resources Commission, Community Water and Sanitation Agency, Ghana Irrigation Development Agency, GIDA, Savannah Accelerated Development Agency, SADA, and the District Assemblies within the basin. As part of the project’s objectives, high level professionals will be trained in the areas of 3D Geological Modelling, 3D numerical groundwater modelling, field based hydrogeological investigations, and groundwater based irrigation schemes. A series of workshops have been planned within the White Volta Basin to keep stakeholders actively involved in the processes.
