There are several sources where you can find groundwater time series data for Jordan and the Levant:

Water Authority of Jordan (WAJ): WAJ is the government agency responsible for managing and monitoring water resources in Jordan. They provide groundwater data through their website, including groundwater levels, discharge rates, and quality measurements.

Ministry of Water and Irrigation (MWI): The MWI is another government agency responsible for water management in Jordan. They also provide groundwater data, including groundwater levels and quality measurements.

International Water Management Institute (IWMI): The IWMI is an international research organization that provides water-related data for many countries, including Jordan and the Levant. They offer a database of groundwater levels and quality data for the region.

United States Geological Survey (USGS): The USGS is a scientific agency of the United States government that provides water-related data for many countries around the world, including Jordan and the Levant. They offer a database of groundwater data that includes groundwater levels, quality measurements, and more.

Global Groundwater Information System (GGIS): The GGIS is a global database that provides groundwater-related data for many countries, including Jordan and the Levant. They offer a range of data, including groundwater levels, quality measurements, and recharge rates.

It's important to note that some of these sources may require registration or payment for access to their data.

Dear Jens, dear Aahed,

thanks for your answers! I saw the data at the BGR portal and contacted one of the authorities.. no answer yet.. the pdf and plots they show on the website reach back to 2018 or so...

as for the Water Authority in Jordan, fun fact, if you drop them an email, it says the mailbox is full and no more emails pass through... so I contacted the agriculture ministry, no answer yet...

Any more help appreciated!

cheers

Michael

Hi Michael,

check out this dissertation: https://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:bsz:16-heidok-279155

Precipitation data is discussed on pages 115-117. I think it comes from the WAJ, which you already know about, but the author might be able to help you.

Best,

Eli

Hi Eli,
