Hydrological data for Pogro study site, Purulia district, West Bengal, India

This hydrological dataset was collected as part of a project titled "Water harvesting and better cropping systems for smallholders of the East India Plateau" (project LWR/2002/100). The dataset includes a set of climatic variables (air temperature, relative humidity, wind speed and solar radiation), streamflow at 2 culverts, as well as water levels at a collection of ponds, wells and piezometers across a 250 ha study area in the Purulia district of West Bengal, India. The project was funded by the Government of Australia, the research component through the Australian Centre for International Agricultural Research and its application through AusAID. In-kind support was also provided by the Government of India through the Indian Council for Agricultural Research. Each of the Institutions engaged in the project also provided in-kind support. We particularly acknowledge the farmers and their families who put their trust in us, shared their thoughts, time and labour, and gave us access to their land and water, without which this project would not have been possible.

本水文数据集系“东印度高原小农户的雨水收集与优质种植系统”项目（项目编号LWR/2002/100）的组成部分而收集。该数据集涵盖了气候变量（空气温度、相对湿度、风速和太阳辐射），以及位于印度西孟加拉邦普鲁利亚地区250公顷研究区域内的两处涵洞的流量，以及一系列池塘、井和水位计的水位。该项目由澳大利亚政府资助，研究部分通过澳大利亚国际农业研究中心进行，应用部分通过澳大利亚国际发展署进行。印度政府通过印度农业研究委员会也提供了实物支持。参与项目的各机构亦提供了实物支持。我们特别感谢那些信任我们、分享他们的想法、时间和劳动，并允许我们进入他们的土地和水源的农民及其家庭，若无他们的支持，本项目将无法实施。有关项目的最终报告，可通过以下链接获取：<a href="http://aciar.gov.au/publication/FR2013-25" rel="nofollow">http://aciar.gov.au/publication/FR2013-25</a>。
