strategies. Increasing groundwater use for irrigation poses legitimate questions about the future sustainability of abstraction from the basin. Faced with this challenge, and in order to maintain water and food security, strong scientific and management capacities at local levels are required, together with the legal and policy frameworks necessary to design management strategies to match local groundwater and surface water conditions within the various groundwater typologies cross the IGB aquifer system (Bonsor et al. 2017).
