Groundwater dataset (water table level), over the Donga watershed (600 km2), Benin

CDS THEIA-OZCAR
Source

Measurements of water level, electrical conductivity and water temperature are made by multi-level piezometers (<1m, 2m, 10m 20m depth) installed on each drilling site along specific vegetation catena (fallow, forest, bush savannah). Automatic measurements for the most superficial piezometers and manual measurements every two days for the others. The water table level values are expressed from the soil surface. A value = 9999 stands for a dry borehole.
