Documentation of charge-discharge processes of the saprolith groundwater on the Donga catchment. Contribution to the water balance of the Donga catchment Electric conductivity is an integrative measurement of the groundwater chemical composition. This parameter is used to define the groundwater pole in hydrograph separations. This dataset is part of the AMMA-CATCH eco-hydrological observatory over West Africa Manual groundwater level for some wells and hourly groundwater measurements for others equipped with a logger. The water table level values are expressed from the soil surface. Kamagaté, B., Séguis, L., Favreau, G., Seidel, J.-L., Descloitres, M., and Affaton, P., 2007.
