Title:
Historic reconstructions of daily groundwater levels for eight boreholes in Burkina Faso (NERC Grant NE/M008827/1)
code:
http://data.bgs.ac.uk/id/dataHolding/13607829
Abstract:
This dataset consists of reconstructions of daily groundwater levels for eight boreholes in Burkina Faso. Data for each borehole is provided in an individual csv file, with reconstructed groundwater level time series reported in metres above sea level (GWL, mASL). The groundwater level reconstructions were derived in 2019 as a part of the BRAVE project (NE/M008827/1 and NE/M008983/1) to develop an improved understanding of temporal variability in groundwater levels in sub-Saharan Africa. The reconstructions were derived using the lumped conceptual groundwater model AquiMod. Observed groundwater level time series for the eight boreholes were modelled using AquiMod, and the calibrated models were used with historic precipitation and potential evapotranspiration data to derive the reconstructions. The length of the time series of reconstructed groundwater levels varies between the boreholes due to differences in the length of the precipitation time series used to derive the reconstructions. Full details of this dataset are reported by Ascott et al. (2020).

statement:
Observed groundwater level time series for each of the boreholes were modelled using the lumped conceptual model AquiMod. The models were calibrated using Monte Carlo sampling, which resulted in a series of parameter sets which produced behavioural models. The top ten behavioural models were then used for groundwater level reconstruction by applying historic rainfall and potential evapotranspiration data as inputs. The results of the best fit behavioural model are presented here. For full details of the methodology please see Ascott et al. (2020).
