Knowledge of long-term changes in the aquifer balance in response to land use and climate changes. This dataset is part of the AMMA-CATCH eco-hydrological observatory over West Africa Piezometric surveys in domestic wells in villages or dedicated to pastoral use, where manual measurements are made with commercial luminous probe (OTT, 100 m in length) every month for seasonal and long term mesoscale groundwater balance surveys. The water table level values are expressed from the edge of the well. A value = 9999 stands for a dry well.
