Content and Use of DAISY

Daisy is intended to provide partners and the public with data from and for the Middle East.
In general, there are 3 different sources of data in DAISY integrated:
(1) alphanumerical data,
(2) raster data
(3) vector data

To allow you to choose the correct query machine and to know, what is expectable, the following table of content may give you necessary information.

(1) alpha-numerical data
- geology from wells elevation of base/top of formations, …
- wells: location, country code, local name, diameter, casing, ...
- hydrogeology from wells : initial water level, hydraulic conductivity, transmissivity,
- groundwater: water table fluctuation, abstraction…
- springs: location, country code, local name, aquifer, discharge rates,…
- runoff: amount, time of runoff, …

- hydrogeochemistry: parameter analyses for organics/anorganics in water samples from wells, springs, river, lakes, treatment plants, …
- microbiology: water samples from wells and springs for e.g. E. coli, total Col.

- climate: rainfall, temp., humidity, wind, evaporation, …

(2) raster data
- geological maps 1:200,000; 1:50,000
- structural maps 1:50,000
- base map of Judea Group aquifer 1:200,000
- satellite images Landsat (1980ies->today)*,
- digital elevation model: combined DEM from SRTM (90m) and GSI (25m)
ASTER L1 DEM (30m)
new ASTER L2 DEM (30m)*
- topographical maps 1:50,000; 1:250,000; 1:500,000

(3) vector data
