Sustainable exploitation of water resources is one of the global strategic issues closely related to the survival and development of human society．Water resources research should therefore become a major topic for scientific collaboration between China and other countries．
Botswana is a typical arid and semi-arid area，which has been faced with serious conflict between water supply and demand．In the context of global warming，water shortage may deteriorate further．Therefore，it is urgent to introduce advanced water resource management theories，methods and technologies to alleviate water crisis at Botswana．In order to promote the traditional friendship between China and Botswana and implement the relevant cooperation agreements signed after the Beijing China-Africa Forum，research work of the project on Groundwater Resource exploitation and Protection in Botswana was carried out under the leadership of Prof．Teng Ma of China University of Geosciences(Wuhan)，With fnancial support of Mistry of Science and Technology of P.R.China．
