AFRICADaily Maverick (South Africa)GROUNDWATER DECLINE: SA draws 66% of its irrigation water from the ground and it is running out

South Africa currently relies on groundwater for 66% of its irrigation water, but these reserves are rapidly depleting. This decline poses a serious risk to the country's agricultural productivity and food security, affecting farmers and consumers nationwide. The shortage may lead to reduced crop yields and increased water stress in rural communities dependent on farming.
