NERC EDS Environmental Information Data Centre 10.5285/4731c4da-91fc-4762-9c17-74c8749d4227 The dataset contains a scaled, semi-quantitative conceptual hydrogeological model of the Gaborone catchment along a general WSW-ENE direction including; (1) the geographic coordinates of the extremities of each segment of the polyline transect; (2) the raster, scaled image of the conceptual hydrogeological cross-section.
