Background on the Meteorological Datasets

We foresee that this data can be useful in making rainwater harvesting and water balance estimates, in various research areas, climate change adaptation studies and more. We also believe in the democratising effect of having this kind of data freely available to the general public.Read More

Constructing Water Balance: A tutorial

IntroductionRead More

To understand the water regime of a specific area for water resource planning one of the first tasks is to understand the water balance of that area. Water balance is a budgeting exercise that assesses the proportion of the rainfall that becomes stream flow (or runoff), evapotranspiration, and drainage (or groundwater recharge).
