...discovered that some of the countries worst hit by drought are actually seeing an #increase in #groundwater #storage ... potential.. to provide a lifeline to drought-hit places like #Somalia, #Kenya, and #Ethiopia.
...some countries in the western Sahel (Senegal, Burkina Faso..) actually got wetter over the period 1983-2021

Also, I work for a company that is trying to expand its employee footprint in Phoenix/Mesa, AZ.
