With thanks to partners @ConcernUK, BRCiS, @Mowrdsl & @FAOSomalia SWALIM. Supervisors @WouterBuytaert, @apbutler & collaborators @topicster @simmoulds. More to come as we now continue stakeholder interviews establishing how groundwater data can add value to early warning systems.

We conclude that short, 1-2 month monitoring periods can calibrate simple groundwater models that substantially improve estimations of local water availabilities during drought. These local simulations can provide evidence to guide anticipatory actions that mitigate shortages. .

Exciting 1st paper out from our @Grantham_IC research in Somaliland. We've simulated water levels in rural shallow wells for drought early warning, using in-situ observations from modern groundwater sensors.

A truly special 2 weeks in Somaliland, where we are evaluating the potential for modern sensors to provide real-time groundwater info to the national drought Early Warning System. So grateful to the local Ministry of Water (MoWD) & @ConcernUK for your active support.@Grantham_IC
