Abstract

The Regional Groundwater Database for Arequipa and Surroundings is the first comprehensive, integrated dataset for southern Peru, compiling 1222 records (1969–2024) from 606 documents. It includes wells, springs, piezometers, and hydrogeological parameters like hydraulic conductivity, transmissivity, and storage coefficients. Designed to overcome data fragmentation, it enables trend analysis, groundwater modeling, and sustainable yield assessments. Publicly available via HydroShare with code on GitHub.

📌 Note on Dataset Versions:

- The files `arequipa_all_final_9_5_25_final.xlsx` and `arequipa_all_final_9_5_25_final_por_cuenca.xlsx` contain only the data extracted using our internal methodology — i.e., curated, processed, and validated according to our defined criteria.

- The file `arequipa_all_final_9_17_25_final_with_snirh.xlsx` includes all the above data PLUS additional records sourced from the public database at [snirh.ana.gob.pe](https://snirh.ana.gob.pe), specifically for the following districts:
Apurímac, Arequipa, Ayacucho, Cusco, Ica, Moquegua, Puno, and Tacna.

➤ This extended version is intended for broader analysis and cross-validation with official national hydrological records.
