• SPRINGS : IMPORTANT HYDROGEOLOGICAL ASPECTS
  Springs are vital hydrogeological resources shared among users, with access often through common sources. Effective management requires mapping and characterizing springs, assessing their geological features, and monitoring factors like discharge and water quality. Community involvement is crucial for data collection and decision-making in spring management. Springs vary greatly in their discharge characteristics and aquifer types, influencing their recharge dynamics and water quality. Strategies for capacity building include planning interventions for recharge and protection, ultimately aiming for sustainable use of these essential water sources.
