Description

This dataset contains observed river discharge time series with the mesoscale Hydrologic Model (mHM). The data support hydrological simulations, calibration, and validation aimed at evaluating streamflow dynamics in data-sparse basins. Daily discharge records were collected for four basins in Northern Nigeria: Oroo, Jamaare, Hadejia, and Kaduna. The dataset covers the period from January 1, 1983, to December 31, 2011. The data were processed using R (statistical computing environment) and QGIS (Geographic Information System) to ensure accuracy and spatial referencing, and hydrologic modelling was performed using the mesoscale Hydrologic Model (mHM). This dataset was produced as a research project focused on understanding hydrological processes in data-scarce basins in Nigeria. The primary language of the documentation and associated metadata is English.

Expected crawler behaviour

Use a stable, truthful User-Agent with product/version and a working contact URL. Across all IP addresses and HTTP connections used by one crawler identity, allow no more than 5 requests in flight and wait at least 20 seconds between request starts. Crawl URLs listed in the catalog sitemap, including file pages and download URLs when they are published, use conditional requests, honor Retry-After, and apply exponential backoff after errors.

The welcome page may link to the interactive repository for human navigation. Automated clients must not treat that human link as a catalog crawl target.

Read the live machine-readable crawler policy before and during a crawl. Stop crawling when it reports CPU or memory utilization at or above 80% and 80% respectively.
