Average Groundwater Evapotranspiration and Recharge Estimates for Kenya, 2000 to 2022
April 15, 2025
This U.S. Geological Survey data release presents raster geospatial data of modeled estimates of average total annual evapotranspiration by groundwater (ETg) and recharge (RCH), in millimeters, for Kenya for 2000 through 2022. Estimates were calculated by differencing Climate Hazards Group InfraRed Precipitation with Stations (CHIRPS) 2.0 precipitation data and Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectrometer (MODIS) Terra evapotranspiration data. ETg is represented by areas where evapotranspiration is greater than precipitation. RCH is represented by areas where precipitation is greater than evapotranspiration.
