在非洲,地下水作为饮用水来源,发挥着越来越重要的作用。保护地下水资源,需要良好的规划以及从立法层面到执行层面的共同努力。这种共同努力在特定场域管理以及规避由饮用、接触受污染地下水而导致的潜在健康威胁方面显得尤为重要。实际情况是,撒哈拉以南非洲地区并不存在这样的体制结构;即使是存在,执行起来也困难重重。地下水资源分区保护,在理论上讲是一种可行的保护地下水水质的管理方式,但实际中,只有当众多撒哈拉以南国家建立了地下水资源保护的法律、制度和社会经济框架之后,它才能得以顺利实施。在努力达成以上目标的过程中,即使是采取一些基础水平的保护,比如在地下水资源周围设立最小保护距离,密切关注钻孔发展标准等,也可以为这些不可或缺的重要资源提供足够的基本保护。 In Africa, groundwater is playing an increasingly important role as a source of drinking water. The protection of groundwater resources requires good planning and joint efforts from the legislative level to the executive level. This joint effort is particularly important in managing specific areas and avoiding the potential health threats posed by drinking and exposure to contaminated groundwater. As a practical matter, such an institutional structure does not exist in sub-Saharan Africa; even if it exists, it will be difficult to implement. Groundwater resource zoning protection is theoretically a viable approach to groundwater quality management, but in practice it can only be achieved if the laws, institutions and socio-economic framework for the protection of groundwater resources are established in many sub-Saharan countries Successful implementation. In striving to achieve these goals, even basic protection, such as the establishment of minimum protection distances around groundwater resources and close attention to the standards of borehole development, can provide sufficient basic resources for these indispensable resources protection.
