Borehole and transmissivity dataset, Uganda

This dataset comprises 655 borehole records and previously unanalysed pumping tests from across Uganda that were compiled from historical borehole records held within 9 district water offices. The dataset is a compilation of historical borehole records held within nine district water offices across Uganda. These data originated from numerous drilling campaigns undertaken by private contractors in each district to site and construct hand-pump borehole community water supplies between 2000 to 2018. In total over 1000 paper borehole records were initially collated and reviewed. This work was carried out over several months visiting the district water offices. Following a quality assurance procedure 655 records were transcribed to create a digital dataset. Each borehole record in the dataset contains a series of metadata alongside the pumping test data (e.g. pump depth, static water level, pumping rate and duration) including locational information (e.g. coordinates, water strike, borehole depth, borehole lithologies). The dataset is delivered as a series georeferenced site information within an MS Excel spreadsheet file.

本数据集包含乌干达全境的655份钻孔记录与此前未被分析的抽水试验数据，所有数据均由乌干达9个地区水务办事处留存的历史钻孔记录汇编而来。这些数据源于2000年至2018年间，各辖区内私人承包商为选址并建造手动泵式钻孔社区供水设施所开展的多轮钻井工程。最初共整理并审核了逾1000份纸质钻孔记录，此项整理工作耗时数月，期间先后走访了各地区水务办事处。经质量管控流程核验后，最终筛选出655份记录并完成数字化转录，构建出本数字数据集。本数据集内的每份钻孔记录均包含一系列元数据与抽水试验数据（例如泵深、静止水位、抽水速率与抽水时长），同时涵盖位置相关信息（例如坐标、见水层位、钻孔深度与钻孔岩性）。本数据集以一系列经地理配准的场地信息合集形式存储于微软Excel（MS Excel）电子表格文件中。
