That's a wrap.

First, thank you for joining me on this journey.  Over this blog series, I have explored the variability of water resources as a result of climate change across Africa and discovered how countries can build climate resilience and ensure safe access to water in the future.  Having learnt so much, I want to leave you with my two top learning lessons for dealing with increased variability.   1. We Need Improved Water Resource Monitoring Networks  More high-quality hydrological data is needed for freshwater resources. This will reduce uncertainty in climate change modelling and support the effective management of resources. Importantly, there are great things happening already. The Trans-African Hydro-Meteorological Observatory (TAHMO) is a network of 20,000 weather station across Africa, which provides data for climate monitoring. Furthermore,  recent advances in hydrological satellite observations are enabling the frequent collection of much more reliable information. 2. Groundwater is
