Hydrological data of the Ribeirão das Posses catchment, Extrema, Minas Gerais, Brazil

Headwater catchments are essential water sources for sustaining low flow in downstream rivers. The montane region of Serra da Mantiqueira in Southeast Brazil is the largest water supplier for the densely populated area of São Paulo, location where the data were collected. This database presents a multi-year and multi-instrumentation approach including streamflow, stormflow, baseflow, precipitation, water table level, soil moisture and rainfall-runoff events.
