This publication has laid out a strategic framework to integrate Open Science into hydrology, illustrating its true potential to enhance research transparency, collaboration, and accessibility within water management practices. The six pillars — open data, open source, open publishing, open infrastructure, open education, and open participation — constitute the structure of the Open Hydrology framework designed to promote transparency and reproducibility.

This publication reviews the current state-of-the-art of AI and Machine Learning (ML) applications within water management, introducing some of the main concepts and providing the reader with a general understanding of different technologies and concepts. Further, it features examples of the most influential applications of AI within water management and highlights the ethical challenges when streamlining AI for water resources management.

This dataset is part of the mWater data for Kenya. It includes wells, boreholes, tube wells, and springs. Altitude data have been corrected by removing negative values and turning 0 values to NULL where applicable.

This dataset is part of the mWater data for Ethiopia. It includes wells, boreholes, tubewells, and springs. Altitude data have been corrected by removing negative values and turning 0 values to NULL where applicable.

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 FRIEND/Nile project, implemented in two phases (2001-2006 and 2007-2013), aimed to enhance water resources management in the Nile Basin through regional cooperation, capacity building, and applied hydrological research. Initiated under the UNESCO International Hydrological Programme (IHP) and funded by the Flemish Government of Belgium, the project engaged key institutions across five Nile Basin countries—Egypt, Sudan, Ethiopia, Kenya, and Tanzania. The project focused on improving understanding of the river's hydrological regime through collaborative research and data sharing.

Phase I (2001-2006) established technical and institutional cooperation, emphasizing four key research components: Rainfall-Runoff Modeling, Sediment Transport and Watershed Management, Flood Frequency Analysis, and Drought and Low Flow Analysis. Over 20 training workshops and technical meetings were conducted, enhancing the capacity of researchers and institutions within the region. The project facilitated data acquisition, model development, and technical publications, laying the foundation for improved transboundary water governance.

Phase II (2007-2013) expanded on these efforts by addressing new challenges such as eco-hydrology, stochastic modeling, and erosion and sediment transport. It introduced advanced hydrological models, improved performance monitoring, and evaluated climate change impacts on water availability in the Nile Basin. The project contributed to enhanced scientific cooperation, strengthened institutional frameworks, and provided policy-relevant insights to support sustainable water resource management.

Predicted changes in annual average precipitation (%), and annual average temperature (℃) for the near future (2041-2070) and far future (2071-2100) in Republic of Korea (ROK). Projections are based on the ACCESS-ESM1-5 model for scenarios SSP245 and SSP585.

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.
