Some of Mali's most productive aquifers can be found in the Sahelian and Saharan zones, however, this water is typically nonrenewable fossil water. Abstraction rates are low relative to supply as the land is not arable and population density is low.
Northern Mali is arid and has no perennial surface water and limited precipitation, but nonrenewable groundwater reserves are abundant (fossil water). Groundwater is widely available, although groundwater levels and recharge are highest in the IND. This section summarizes key characteristics of surface and groundwater resources.
In general, water resources are an essential element in achieving food security in Mali, particularly through the coverage of drinking water needs and securing of production systems.
Mali also participates in three transboundary river basin authorities responsible for facilitating international cooperation on basin planning, development, and protection. The international agreements governing the Senegal and Niger Rivers manage flows based on reasonable use principles rather than fixed allocations.
