Hydrochemical, isotopic, hydrogeological and geological data from field studies of weathered crystalline rock aquifers in Tanzania and Uganda
Data for Uganda includes analytical, field, isotope and borehole data. Data for Tanzania includes chemistry, field, isotope and borehole data. Borehole data from the Makutopora Wellfield is also included. This data was collected to investigate the resilience to climate change in sub-Saharan Africa (Tanzania and Uganda) of intensive groundwater abstraction from weathered crystalline rock aquifer systems. 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. The project was DFID funded. Project partners include: University College London, the British Geological Survey and the Overseas Development Institute

- Statement
- Field studies were carried out in Uganda and Tanzania, targeting boreholes and wellfields that were already supplying >1l/s. The aim was to assess the reliability of these larger supplies, and work out the conditions necessary to have these larger supplies by gathering historical data on borehole performance, interpreting aquifer test data and taking various samples for groundwater residence times. In depth discussions of methodology are presented in the associated outputs.
