These maps are called Africa Groundwater Atlas country hydrogeology maps (Version 1.0, 2019/2021).
They are digital maps in shapefile format.
The maps are the product of the Africa Groundwater Atlas project.
The Africa Groundwater Atlas is an online resource that provides a summary of the groundwater resources of 51 African countries, and a gateway to further information.
The Africa Groundwater Atlas is available at: https://www.bgs.ac.uk/africagroundwateratlas/index.cfm
The Africa Groundwater Atlas project was jointly funded by DFID, NERC and ESRC; supported by the International Association of Hydrogeologists (IAH); and carried out by the British Geological Survey (BGS) in partnership with hydrogeologists across Africa.
It is a part of the Unlocking the Potential of Groundwater for the Poor (UPGro) Research Programme, which focused on improving the evidence base around groundwater availability and management in sub-Saharan Africa, to enable the sustainable use of groundwater that benefits the poor.
