Dataset

Hydrochemical, isotopic, hydrogeological and geological data from field studies of weathered crystalline rock aquifers in Tanzania and Uganda.

Groundwater, Water QualitySub-Saharan AfricaBritish Geological Survey (BGS)

Dataset Objective

To investigate the resilience to climate change in sub-Saharan Africa (Tanzania and Uganda) of intensive groundwater abstraction from weathered crystalline rock aquifer systems

Context

The sustainability of such abstractions was investigated by examining historical aquifer responses to climate and intensive (> 1 l/s) abstraction, and investigating groundwater residence times at sites of intensive groundwater abstraction using multiple tracers

What is included

This dataset contains the field, isotope and borehole chemistry composition, field, isotope components.

Collection Methods

Sample laboratory analysis.
