This document discusses a workshop on shallow groundwater utilization in the Volta Basin. It will examine current irrigation practices and recommend more efficient alternatives using shallow groundwater. Previous research identified areas with shallow groundwater reserves but only 5% is currently extracted. The project will explore improved groundwater irrigation methods and applicable areas. It will evaluate technologies like well designs and pumps. Research questions focus on usability, efficiency, and sustainability of groundwater extraction. Activities include assessing current performance, identifying gaps, monitoring water levels, and evaluating alternative energy sources for irrigation.
