Climate change is projected to threaten water availability for livestock. Droughts in Africa have become more intense, frequent and widespread in the last 50 years , and progressive increase in droughts between 3- and 20-fold under climate change up to 3ºC of warming are projected for most of Africa . In the Klela basin in Mali by 2050, groundwater recharge is projected to decline by 49% and groundwater storage by 24% under RCP8.5  compared to the 2006 baseline . Water availability for livestock during drought is a major concern for many African pastoralists including but not limited to those in Zimbabwe  and Nigeria . Increased livestock mortality and livestock price shocks have been associated with droughts in Africa, as well as being a potential pathway for climate-related conflict .
