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.

本水文数据集系题为“印度东部高原小农的雨水收集与优化种植系统”（项目编号LWR/2002/100）的研究项目所采集。该数据集涵盖多项气候变量（气温、相对湿度、风速与太阳辐射）、两处涵洞的径流量数据，以及位于印度西孟加拉邦普里利亚（Purulia）区250公顷研究区域内的多个池塘、水井与测压管的水位监测数据。本项目由澳大利亚政府资助，其中研究工作由澳大利亚国际农业研究中心（Australian Centre for International Agricultural Research, ACIAR）负责开展，项目实施由澳大利亚国际发展署（AusAID）推进。此外，印度政府通过印度农业研究理事会（Indian Council for Agricultural Research, ICAR）提供了实物支持，参与本项目的所有机构亦均提供了实物援助。我们特别致谢参与项目的农户及其家属：正是他们对我们的信任、分享的见解、投入的时间与劳力，以及允许我们进入其土地与水资源开展研究，才使得本项目得以顺利完成。
