Across Africa’s Sahel region, groundwater reserves are recovering after decades of drought.

Good news! Global warming/climate change is not all bad! 😊

"... Aquifer reserves across Niger have risen by an estimated 15 percent, while Lake Chad reached more than 9,000 square miles in 2024, around 10 times its size in the mid-1980s.

One major reason is that rising temperatures in the North Atlantic have pulled the West African monsoon farther north, bringing more rainfall to the Sahel."

After Decades of Drought, Water Is Rising in the African Sahel

After Decades of Drought, Water Is Rising in the African Sahel "Warming has brought extreme rain to the parched Sahel, which is seeing aquifers refill as monsoons grow stronger. But heavier downpours alone cannot explain the groundwater revival, say hydrologists, who believe efforts to harvest rainfall may also be paying dividends."
