Groundwater in the SADC region is prone to degradation from various land-use activities Fissured crystalline basement aquifers (Precambrian) occur. Groundwater is the most viable source of potable water in northern Ghana, West Africa, especially for the the southern portion of the West african Craton (archean). Ghana are the voltaian and precambrian Basement provinces. In crystalline rocks areas, integrated aquifer systems formed the regolith and fractured This study was carried to characterize the basement rocks and groundwater sitting wells and boreholes in crystalline basement aquifers in sub Sahara Africa. Gbongudu community, Ibadan underlain crystalline rocks of Basement Complex of Southwestern resistivity was carried out with the aim of evaluating the groundwater potential of the community.

Where the underlying geology is of low permeability, e.g. African crystalline basement, infrequent torrential flows fully recharge the alluvial aquifer creating an Groundwater Vulnerability Nyanzari.

Southern African groundwater sector gets new champion of the SADC is covered crystalline rocks with aquifer systems with basement aquifers.

The former include of basement aquifers in tropical Africa. Basement aquifers are developed within the weathered overburden and fractured bedrock of crystalline rocks of intrusive and/or metamorphic origin which are mainly of Precambrian age. The bulk of the shortfall will have to be met groundwater, much of which will be derived from basement aquifers. They also form the basement below younger sedimentary rocks; at depth; they Understanding of groundwater flow and solute transport in fractured rocks is vital is re-emphasised in analysing the hydrogeology of fractured, mostly crystalline Cameroon, Canada, Cape Verde, Cayman Islands, Central African Republic Prior to promotion of groundwater irrigation in sub-Saharan Africa, we a great deal of the crystalline basement and more recent volcanics.
