Water quality changes bn source & point of use in urban piped water systems =f(pipewater residence time (RT),source water compositional stability, & -ve pressure in networks). 222Rn is shown to be a promissing new tool to estimate pipe water RT. &more⬇️

Groundwater plays a key role towards #climateresilience - but it needs to be understood, protected & managed.
Read insights from REACH's exciting GW research in Kenya & Ethiopia in this piece by @florencetanui @BehailBirhan, Prof Dan Olago & @Sefwater.

A highlight from @BehailBirhan yesterday: forthcoming @reachwater work uses stable isotopes to identify abstraction source of tapwater. In the graphic top left, strongest red shows highest concentration of water abstracted from groundwater sources; green, surface water
2-day workshop on Addis Ababa water supply, with AAWSA's Jemila Mohamed (quality), Mihret Mersha (WWT) and Henok Manage (planning), ft. @reachwater's new policy brief by Behailu Berhanu (@WLRC_Eth). Tomorrow exploring @IWMI_'s problemscape approach with @XantheH2O (@GCRFWaterHub)

For me - I wonder if, when new surface water supplies come online (in short-term, Sibilu + Gerbi), is it possible to route new transmission lines into these areas first, to directly supersede groundwater dependence for high-use households?
Behailu Birhanu retweeted
.@BehailBirhan emphasised the need to transition towards a role for groundwater sources as backfill in times of shortage - 'conjunctive use' with surface water so that both are managed sustainably

Watch this space!
Over the next few months, we'll be sharing our REACH Stories of Change where you will find key findings from our @FCDOResearch funded work and how it is delivering #impact, changing policy & practice and improving people's lives.
First one out tomorrow!

Marking the end of the international year of (gw) groundwater (2022) with Hydrogeologists in Ethiopia. They came together to revitalize their association & form a local IAH chapter. The gw year ends today. GW will continue to serve Ethiopia's endever to meet SDGs.

Meet @Sefwater 👋
He sees groundwater as a hidden treasure. "wisely used it can support Africa's rural economic transformation. Hydrogeology knowledge is the key to unlock this treasure"
He works tirelessly to advocate for good #groundwater governance in sub-saharan Africa
