CR2SUB: monthly groundwater level database for Chile
Authors/Creators
Description
The CR2SUB database compiles groundwater level (GWL) observations from 1,137 wells maintained by the Water Bureau of Chile (Dirección General de Aguas, DGA), downloaded from https://snia.mop.gob.cl/BNAConsultas/reportes, and processed into a homogenized monthly database for the period 1957-2025. The database also includes metadata for each observation well and a range of topographical and hydroclimatic attributes computed from ancillary information.
The input data and scripts used to generate CR2SUB are provided to ensure reproducibility in the Github repository: https://github.com/calvarezgarreton/cr2sub. The workflow enables users to update the CR2SUB database whenever new DGA records are downloaded.
Developers: The CR2SUB database has been consolidated within the framework of the Center for Climate and Resilience Research (CR2, ANID/FONDAP/1523A0002) and is part of the research project ANID/FONDECYT/11240924. Responsible: Camila Alvarez-Garreton. Collaborators: Rodrigo Marinao Rivas, Juan P. Boisier, Diego Dinamarca.
