This is a series of maps, in GIS shapefile format, for each of 48 countries in Africa, that show hydrogeology (aquifer type and productivity) and geology (with particular relevance to hydrogeology) at 1:5 million scale. The maps have two hydrogeological themes: -geology with geological categories that reflect significant hydrogeological units; and -hydrogeology, combining classifications of aquifer type and productivity. The maps were produced as part of the Africa Groundwater Atlas project.
Africa Groundwater Atlas Hydrogeology Country Maps
The Africa Groundwater Atlas is an online resource developed by the BGS, in collaboration with hydrogeologists across Africa. This service presents layers showing the hydrogeology (aquifer type and productivity) and geology (with particular reference to hydrogeology) of 38 African countries.
