Abstract

This report describes the methodology and preliminary results from a simplified water, economy and livelihoods survey (WELS) carried out in West Africa at the same time as a groundwater residence survey (which is reported separately). Results from community discussions are presented for four case study areas in a transect across humid to semi arid conditions in Nigeria and Mali.
