Historic reconstructions of daily groundwater levels for eight boreholes in Burkina Faso

This dataset consists of reconstructions of daily groundwater levels for eight boreholes in Burkina Faso. Data for each borehole is provided in an individual csv file, with reconstructed groundwater level time series reported in metres above sea level (GWL, mASL). The groundwater level reconstructions were derived in 2019 as a part of the BRAVE project (NE/M008827/1 and NE/M008983/1) to develop an improved understanding of temporal variability in groundwater levels in sub-Saharan Africa. The reconstructions were derived using the lumped conceptual groundwater model AquiMod. Observed groundwater level time series for the eight boreholes were modelled using AquiMod, and the calibrated models were used with historic precipitation and potential evapotranspiration data to derive the reconstructions. The length of the time series of reconstructed groundwater levels varies between the boreholes due to differences in the length of the precipitation time series used to derive the reconstructions. Full details of this dataset are reported by Ascott et al. (2020).

本数据集包含布基纳法索8个钻孔的每日地下水位重建数据。
每个钻孔的数据以单独的CSV文件提供，其中重建的地下水位时间序列以海拔米数（GWL，mASL）为单位报告。
地下水位重建工作于2019年开展，作为BRAVE项目（编号NE/M008827/1和NE/M008983/1）的一部分，旨在加深对撒哈拉以南非洲地下水位时间变异性的理解。
重建工作采用集总概念性地下水模型AquiMod进行。
研究人员使用AquiMod对这8个钻孔的观测地下水位时间序列进行建模，并利用校准后的模型结合历史降水和潜在蒸散数据得出重建结果。
由于用于生成重建结果的降水时间序列长度不同，各钻孔的重建地下水位时间序列长度存在差异。
