Groundwater development and management Increase levels of groundwater through recharge, if rainfall becomes more variable. None Increase levels of, and access to, for domestic, sanitation, agriculture and other domestic activities. Strengthen livelihood activities. None Potential for increased energy use and carbon dioxide emission from diesel pumps. Potential to over-exact groundwater aquifers leading to decreased availability. Diesel or petrol used to power pumps. Groundwater aquifers have the potential to be exploited for irrigation. 1 Expand water infrastructure including reservoir construction with hydropower Flood management and increased water storage if levels of rainfall and hence runoff decrease with climate change. Reduce CO2 emissions from hydropower, clean energy source. Increase storage for irrigation, drinking purposes, industrial growth. Strengthen livelihood activities.
