Abstract
Surface Nuclear Magnetic Resonance sounding (SNMR) is the only geophysical method that allows the direct noninvasive<br>determination of both the volume of exploitable groundwater and its depth distribution. Furthermore, the<br>technique is unique in that it can discriminate between the sizes of the water bearing pores. Since 1999 a number of<br>exploratory SNMR surveys have been conducted in Botswana, Namibia and South Africa.
