Three-dimensional hydrogeological and salinity model of the Mekong delta, Vietnam

The data in the file “hydrogeology_Mekong_Vietnam.nc” (in NetCDF – format) contains the 3D voxel model of the hydrogeological units for the unconsolidated sediments in the Mekong delta, Vietnam. The variable “hydrogeological_unit” represents the aquitards (uppercase), while the lowercase codes denote aquifers. The coding follows the Vietnamese nomenclature and is explained the accompanying paper. The data in the file “TDS_Mekong_Vietnam.nc” (in NetCDF – format) contains the 3D voxel model of: variable called “Etype_estimate_TDS”, representing the average concentration (in g/L) of Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) variable called “Probability_TDS_smaller_1g_L”, representing the probability of TDS < 1g/L for each hydrogeological unit of the “hydrogeology_Mekong_Vietnam.nc file. Only the deepest units (N13 and n13) are not included due to lack of basic data. The coordinate system is WGS84m - UTM 48 N. The voxel size is 1000 m x 1000 m x 5 m.
