Effects of rainfall events on the water storage characteristic of a shallow water table site - lysimeter data

The dataset contains measurment data from a weighable groundwater lysimeter in the Spreewald wetland. Water budget values and water levels were selected for 29 rainfall events > 10 mm between May 2010 and September 2012. The parameters were evaluated for different points of time and periods after and before the rainfall events. Special focus was set on water storage characteristics of the thin unsatureted zone of the shallow water table site. The data shows the effect of different assumptions (equilibrium conditions vs. dynamic conditions) on the estimated exhaustion of the unsaturated zone.
