Gro for GooD project Chloride rainwater results, Kwale County, Kenya (NERC grant NE/M008894/1)

The data sets contain the monthly rainfall volume from manual rain gauge stations spread across the study area. There are 11 rainfall stations. The rain unit is mm. In addition, the dataset contains the chloride concentration in mg/l of the rainfall, for each month. Blank data (-) means data not available due to not enough rain volume, no rainfall or problems when transporting the samples from Kenya to Barcelona. The data available is only from April 2016 to November 2017. This data is useful to calculate the recharge volume by chloride mass balance (CMB) methodology. https://www.hydrol-earth-syst-sci-discuss.net/11/307/2014/hessd-11-307-2014-print.pdf

Statement
Eleven (11) stations were carefully selected by researchers to adequately cover the study area's upper middle and lower catchment. The rainwater samples for each of the 11 rain gauge stations were collected in 2L and 1L HDPE (High-density polyethylene) bottles with tight lid (to avoid loss through evaporation) by trained and supervised Field Monitors (FM). Samples from each location were combined for each month. Monthly integrated rainwater samples were collected for all stations every end month by Data Technician and brought to the field office located in Msambweni where integrated samples were resampled into three 15ml bottles for each site and month. These were stored at room temperature for transit to the laboratory for chloride analysis. The rain samples were processed by the Catalan Institute of Water Research (ICRA) in Spain, using ionic chromatography.
