Abstract

This Editor’s Message advises the international groundwater fraternity of new opportunities in hydrogeological developments in Africa. It is a fact that groundwater plays a vital role in socio-economic and ecological services in the continent but it has been largely neglected in the past. With the 6th Ordinary Session of AMCOW (African Ministers’ Council on Water) held in Brazzaville, Congo in late May 2007, the profile of groundwater in the continent has been raised.
