Somalia SWALIM wells

This dataset is part of the Somalia Water sources Information Management System (SWIMS). From the various sources listed in SWIMS boreholes and wells were selected. The dataset gives information about the positioning and in few cases about water level and yield but it is not clarified if the inspection date in the data is referring to the measurements.

Provenance
Lineage statement	The original dataset was downloaded from https://swims.faoswalim.org/dashboard/view and then the CSV file was filtered for boreholes and dug wells. The extracted records were migrated to UNESCO's borehole collection template. Then it was filtered again, keeping only the records that had at least 4 decimals in their pair of coordinates to improve accuracy. The dataset was also checked for altitude consistency. Any elevation value above 2500m was deleted but the record was kept.
