There are many resources to help people developing groundwater resources for water supply. This page does not provide a comprehensive list of such resources, but does provide a brief overview of the key issues involved in trying to achieve best practice in groundwater development: successful, sustainable, appropriate groundwater supplies.

A guidebook that deals with all aspects of developing groundwater for rural water supply in Africa is MacDonald et al (2005) [http://www.bgs.ac.uk/africagroundwateratlas/fulldetails.cfm?id=AGLA500019 Developing groundwater: a guide for rural water supply].
