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.
