GROUNDWATER RELIEF TRUSTEES. REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024 Achievements and performance As Groundwater Relief {GWR) continues on its pathway from start-up to stability, 2023124 has seen many project successes and positive changes to membership and staffing, alongside challenges associated with high workload and fluctuating income with limited finanaal buffer. Projects have been successfully completed for a number of partners including Oxfam, IOM, ACTED and MSF across Bangladesh. Yemen, Syria, and South Sudan. to name just a few. A significant step forward has been the creation and recruitment of a new Head of Finan￿ and Administration position. This position was filled in June 2023 and has enabled GIMi to make marked progress in developing and implementing our governance and finance strategy. This will continue in 2024125. We end the year with record membership numbers, which allows us to continue to provide unique groundwater expertise to the humanitarian sector. Continuing to develop our capacity and procedures to effectively engage the membership will be a priority for 2024125. Although our income fell compared to 2022123, we start 2024125 in a strong position wth a £1.OM Drought Risk Reduction (DRR) project moving forward with IOM in South Sudan. This 11 be the largest project GWR has led to date and will allow us to start to build up a more robust financial buffer, improving finanaal security for the coming year- another priority for 2024125. hni Groundwater Relief invested significant time and resources into the development of three separate large scale project proposals over this financial year. Al three of these proposals were considered likely to develop into projects. The proposals included groundwater resource management works within the south of Yemen, large-scale capacity building of the self-administration in North East Syria and supporting the drilling of mults'ple production wells in Ukraine. Unfortunately, for different reasons. outside of the control of GWR, these projects did not materialise. Despite these projects not going forwards. Groundwater Relief s technical team were kept busy with various other projects. Notable accomplishments over the course of the year are listed below. GWR completed an analysis of groundwater resources and water resour￿ management systems within the Somali region, Ethiopia. This work was done in collaboration with Médecins Sans Frontières-Holland. The work included.. a compilation and review of available data and literature from which published and nonpublished English language reports and maps were synthesised,. the development of a GRACE model to determine mass water balance changes over a 20 year period from 2003 to 2023,. an assessment of recent and future rainfall over the Somali region., presentation of a 3D geological model for the region., and key stakeholder interviews undertaken by a prominent Ethiopian hydrogeologist and GWR member. Data collected as part of this desk study has been made available via an online GIS map that can be accessed through the following link-. -.li webma wr ml Im rfin 38507059bed440b6bde10773da8e5488 GWR completed a secondary pilot of our Water Dats Rocks groundwater monitoring phone application with the National Water Resources Management Agency (NWRMA) of Sierra Leone.

Field training on collecting water level data using Water Data Rocks GVVR phone app in Sierra Leone GWR undertook a remote Hydrogeological Desk Study of the Northem Bank of the Kakhovka ReseNoir, Ukraine on behalf of Oxfam. In June 2023 the Kakhovka Hydroelectric dam was destroyed resulting in extensive flooding, displacing populations and necessitating urgent evaluation of water supply options. Given the limited availability of information about groundwater resources in the area, Oxfam requested Groundwater Relief to conduct a remote desk study on the aquifer systems within the region. The aim is to gain a better understanding of underground water resources that could potentially replace or complement surface water sources. The objectives of the study were met by GWR and an online map was also developed to provide basic drilling guidance to support actors who were looking to drill water supplies within the region. The map is available here= A groundwater resource assessment was undertaken wth Medecins Sans Fonterieres Holland IMSF-OCA) to improve water security for nine Public Health Centre Units (PHCUS) within the Tonkolili District, Sierra Leone. The PHCUS were being served by shallow wells, which 'ran dry, before the onset of the rainy season. Groundwater Relief was commissioned to carry out a geophysical assessment to identify drilliig sites for the 9 new proposed boreholes.
