Description:
For the purpose of the GROFLO project, accurate groundwater maps of Kenya, Zanzibar and Inhaca Island are necessary. At the beginning of the project, a very rough model was used, making use of cells of 8 by 8 km. This means that all the points in a square of 8 by 8 km were supposed to have the same groundwater flow which is a mean of the amount of groundwater flow in this cell of 8 by 8 km. This caused some problem when the results of ecological aspects had to be related to the groundwater flow, because the research of ecological response to the groundwater flow mostly used a point-measurement technique. For the purpose of this project the groundwater maps will have to be refined. Refining the groundwater maps means refining the data. In reality this means only the topographic data will be refined. To explain this choice, we will briefly give a revision of the groundwater model used in this project and the data necessary to run the model.
