Cover Story: In the majority of sub-Saharan African countries, access to water is a major challenge. In semi-arid to arid rural areas, groundwater is often the main source of freshwater. Unfortunately, the quality and sustainability of this resource are still uncertain and may be affected by seasonal effects, global climate change and population growth. However, in the study area, located in the Kaokoland in northwestern Namibia, a surprisingly high number of springs are emerging at the surface. Most of them are not captured and do not have any protective measures. This work revealed that the majority of the springs have excellent to good groundwater quality for drinking purposes. Some recommendations are made to preserve and improve the quality of the resource, and to use it sustainably. View this paper
