CAMELS-DK: Danish Catchments with Groundwater Information (GEUS Dataverse)
First CAMELS dataset with both gauged and ungauged catchments and detailed groundwater info: dynamic and static variables for 3330 Danish catchments (1989-2019), observed streamflow at 304 gauges plus DK-model simulated streamflow, depth to phreatic layers, soil water, ET, and groundwater abstraction/irrigation. Hosted on the GEUS Dataverse.

What you can do with it
Typical work that data of this type supports.
- 01
Design flows
Estimate 1-in-50 and 1-in-100 year floods for bridges, culverts and spillways.
Because it has: streamflow
- 02
Low flows
Set environmental flows and check what is left in the river in a dry year.
- 03
Trend hotspots
Find where water tables are falling year after year.
Because it has: groundwater
Where AI adds value
Ideas for machine learning and AI agents built on this kind of data.
- 01
Flow forecasting
Train LSTM-style models on past records to forecast river levels and flow days ahead.
- 02
Ungauged basins
Combine with catchment data to estimate flow where there is no gauge.
- 03
Gap filling
Rebuild missing well readings from neighbours, rainfall and season.
