297 datasets found

The dataset covers the Counties of Turkana and Marsabit in northern Kenya. It includes borehole records with some geological and water quality measurements. It is part of the project "HYDROGEOLOGICAL MAPPING OF TURKANA and MARSABIT AQUIFERS" that was carried out by Rural Focus and SWAS WATER SURVEYS. A significant portion of the data that was required for these datasets was collected from various organizations including Oxfam, the Catholic Diocese of Lodwar, JICA, and the WRA of Kenya. The dataset has undergone improvements in accuracy and consistency while being normalized to align with UNESCO's groundwater data collection template.

This dataset provides population data for Ethiopia, disaggregated by regional states. The data is available in vector format, allowing for spatial visualization. Cross-border settlements are represented separately in a standalone file titled "Crosses Boundary." The dataset includes total population figures and population density, adjusted to match the corresponding official United Nations population estimates that have been prepared by the Population Division of the Department of Economic and Social Affairs of the United Nations Secretariat (2019 Revision of World Population Prospects).

The SWOT Level 2 River Single-Pass Vector Node Data Product from the Surface Water Ocean Topography (SWOT) mission provides water surface elevation, slope, width, and discharge derived from the high rate (HR) data stream from the Ka-band Radar Interferometer (KaRIn). SWOT launched on December 16, 2022 from Vandenberg Air Force Base in California into a 1-day repeat orbit for the "calibration" or "fast-sampling" phase of the mission, which completed in early July 2023. After the calibration phase, SWOT entered a 21-day repeat orbit in August 2023 to start the "science" phase of the mission, which is expected to continue through 2025.

Water surface elevation, slope, width, and discharge are provided for river reaches (approximately 10 km long) and nodes (approximately 200 m spacing) identified in the prior river database, and distributed as feature datasets covering the full swath for each continent-pass. These data are generally produced for inland and coastal hydrology surfaces, as controlled by the reloadable KaRIn HR mask. The dataset is distributed in ESRI Shapefile format. Please note that this collection contains SWOT Version C science data products.

This collection is a sub-collection of its parent: https://podaac.jpl.nasa.gov/dataset/SWOT_L2_HR_RiverSP_2.0 It contains only river nodes.

The harmonized geological and hydrogeological of the Horn of Africa integrates layers initially provided by the World Bank, which were developed from regional and national maps published by the British Geological Survey (BGS). These foundational layers, including detailed geological and aquifer type and productivity maps, were adapted to align cross-border geological formations and hydrogeological units. Through this harmonization, geological formations were reclassified by stratigraphic age and lithological properties, ensuring consistency in representation across Ethiopia, Djibouti, Kenya, Somalia, and South Sudan. Aquifer types and productivity levels were systematically standardized to reflect groundwater flow mechanisms, such as intergranular or fracture flow, and productivity classifications from very low to very high. The harmonized map employs consistent color schemes and attribute codes, allowing for streamlined GIS integration, cross-border assessments, and enhanced water resource management in the Horn of Africa.

Springs in Somalia extracted from OpenStreetMap (October 2024) and normalized following UNESCO's template for groundwater data collection.

Wells in Somalia extracted from OpenStreetMap (October 2024) and normalized following UNESCO's template for groundwater data collection.

Wells in Kenya extracted from OpenStreetMap (October 2024) and normalized following UNESCO's template for groundwater data collection.

This dataset is part of the Somalia Water sources Information Management System (SWIMS). From the various sources listed in SWIMS boreholes and wells were selected. The dataset gives information about the positioning and in few cases about water level and yield but it is not clarified if the inspection date in the data is referring to the measurements.

Borehole dataset from UNICEF in part of Turkana County in northern Kenya. Water quality information with dates.

Overview of existing and known boreholes in each County (Turkana, Marsabit, Isiolo, Garissa, Wajir), including information of qualitative and quantitative potential (yield and EC). Note that this is a merged database containing data from the RAPID and UNICEF Hydrogeological mapping of underground water using remote sensing and GIS projects Provider: Acacia Water, RAPID + UNICEF project
