Soil water measurements from Ethiopia’s Awassa region during the drought and subsequent floods of 2015-2016

Measurements were taken in three fertility zones within households in two districts of Halaba in the SNNPR, Ethiopia. Measurements were taken after the El Niño event of 2015/16, so reflect the resilience of different areas of the farm to drought. Measurements are provided at fertility zones home, near and far from the home, and at three depths (0-5cm, 5-10cm and 10-15cm). Measurements included were volumetric water content, more water conductivity, and soil temperature. This dataset was collected as part of the NERC-funded project Building Resilience in Ethiopia's Awassa region to Drought (BREAD).

本数据集在埃塞俄比亚SNNPR地区的Halaba两区内的三个肥力区域内进行测量，分别位于住宅内部、靠近住宅以及远离住宅的位置，并针对三个深度层次（0-5厘米、5-10厘米及10-15厘米）进行测量。测量内容涵盖体积含水量、水导率和土壤温度。这些测量是在2015/16年厄尔尼诺事件之后进行的，因而反映了农田不同区域对干旱的抗逆性。该数据集系NERC资助项目“加强埃塞俄比亚Awassa地区对干旱的适应性建设”（BREAD）的组成部分。有关本数据集的详细信息，请查阅https://doi.org/10.5285/c18a5a8c-a9b0-401d-8784-d03f3c7cd049。
