In the light of the challenges faced by groundwater as a result of the ever increasing water demand due to population growth, refugee influxes, and economic growth in addition to groundwater depletion coupled with the negative impacts of climate change, it is necessary to identify and support the design of proactive measures to alleviate the effects of droughts and climate change adaptation measures as well as the promotion of the efficient use of the available groundwater water resources. This situation requires that groundwater resources should be managed optimally and sustained for future generations. A groundwater sustainability policy is highly needed.
