Provenance & quality
Source data for the AquiMod models consisted of the following: groundwater level (GWL) data, precipitation, and temperature data. The monthly groundwater level data are been taken from the National Groundwater Level Archive, NGLA (http://www.bgs.ac.uk/research/groundwater/datainfo/levels/ngla.html). Groundwater level records in the NGLA are irregular and typically at a frequency of a month or less. Consequently, raw groundwater level data was linearly interpolated to a monthly time step prior to use in AquiMod. Precipitation and temperature data were taken from an updated / extended version of UKCP09 produced by the Historic Droughts project. Potential evapotranspiration is estimated from the temperature data (Tanguy et al., 2017 https://doi.org/10.5285/17b9c4f7-1c30-4b6f-b2fe-f7780159939c).
