Dataset extended description

Dateset provided by Dr. Kawawa Banda (Ministry of Agriculture and Cooperatives , Lusaka, Zambia) including :

- the most comprehensive coverage of borehole records for Zambia (includes transmisivities, borehole
depth, aquifer types, location (some are approximate as it was before GPS), .......) done in the early in early
80s.
- Several other assessment done by different projects (JICA, GIZ, GAUFF..). The projects were done
in the last five years except the JICA one done in 1994.

Dear Haile,

It is still not clear to me in what format you want the data shapefile or excel sheets. So I have
done data dump in both excel and shapefile. I have complied this data over many years from
different sources that give a comprehensive picture. You therefore can NOT use it in anyother
form outside the framework of this project. This is VERY important for me as I am doing several
other things with this data. Maybe the data from SADC-GMI, you may be able to use outside this
framework depending on the policy.

I have created a dropbox for data sharing with you which includes the following:

- the most comprehensive coverage of borehole records for Zambia (includes transmisivities, borehole
depth, aquifer types, location (some are approximate as it was before GPS), .......) done in the early in early
80s.
- Several other assessment done by different projects (JICA, GIZ, GAUFF..). The projects were done
in the last five years except the JICA one done in 1994.

- Shapefiles (showing aquifer types, hotspots areas, agricultural pivots, mining areas)

If you need additional information, you think is missing please revert back to me. I am cleaning the
one for water quality which I will update over the weekend. If you need any clarification again come
back to me. My report from Zambia will interrogate most of this data...

Regards,
Kawawa
